Each year, we find some of the best back-to-school deals at the office supply stores, and Staples typically has an impressive number of deals, with prices as low as $0.10. In 2024 they offered shoppers a back-to-school freebie: buy any item at Staples, and get a free 2-pack of Sharpie S-Gel Pens when you use a digital coupon in the Staples app. Can we expect to find a freebie like this in 2025?

Free 2-pack of Sharpie S-Gel Pens with any purchase for 9 days at Staples.
Staples offers app-exclusive coupons for freebies with purchase every few weeks, which are always nice. But we were particularly excited about a freebie with purchase offer that happened during the back-to-school shopping sale of 2024: get a free 2-pack of Sharpie S-Gel Pens (regularly $2.99) with any purchase for nine whole days. In 2024, this deal was redeemable once per account and was valid in stores only from Aug. 30 - Sept. 7, 2024.
KCL predicts the next Staples Sharpie Pens freebie will happen from Aug. 29 - Sept. 6, 2025.
This offer is only available via the Staples mobile app and is redeemable at your local store using the in-app offer. To score this freebie, you simply show the cashier the offer on your phone during checkout. Even better? You could use this offer with back-to-school sales so you can pay less overall. Staples hasn't confirmed the dates for their next Sharpie freebie yet, but we predict it will run from Aug. 29 - Sept. 6, 2025.
Save the most when you pair this freebie offer with a low-priced item or a sale item.
When you have an offer for a freebie with any purchase, you'll save the most by buying the lowest out-of-pocket item on your list. And since this particular coupon doesn't have a minimum amount you must spend, it would be the best deal idea to grab a sale item.
Staples Back-to-School Deal Idea You Could Grab in 2024
Our favorite deal that you could get with this Sharpie freebie offer: you could pay just $0.35 when you bought a notebook and the two gel pens (together worth $5.88); that's 94% in savings!
