Staples Weekly Ad This Week

The Staples weekly ad, short and sweet

Staples isn't a grocery store, so don't expect a giant circular. The edition we hold, Staples Weekly Ad (10/18 - 10/25 2026), is six pages and runs from Sunday, October 18 to Sunday, October 25. Editions listed on AdsSOS can overlap by a day like that, which is why the cover dates matter more than the weekday. Six pages go fast: you can read the whole thing over coffee before a school-supply run or an office restock.

The ad covers the stuff Staples is known for: paper, pens, ink and toner, binders, desks and chairs, plus some tech and breakroom items. Staples is an office-supply retailer, so on this site it lives under auto, sports and leisure weekly ads, the closest of our groups. For the whole list of retailers, head to the US weekly ads hub.

What is Staples, really?

Staples is an office-supply chain based in Framingham, Massachusetts. Per Wikipedia, the first store opened in Brighton, Massachusetts, on May 1, 1986, and the company has been owned by the private equity firm Sycamore Partners since 2017. The same entry counts 827 US stores as of 2026. After a planned merger with Office Depot was blocked in court in 2016, Staples sold off its European operations and leaned toward business customers, though the retail stores are still where most people meet it.

Store brands are worth knowing if you're trying to stretch a budget. Wikipedia lists Tru Red, Coastwide Professional, NXT Technologies, Perk and Union & Scale. If you're comparing office stores, the Office Depot weekly ad is the natural neighbor to open in the next tab.

Staples Rewards: how the points work

Staples' own rewards page (the program is called Easy Rewards there) says members earn one point per dollar on qualifying purchases in stores, online, in the app and by phone. You can pick up to three bonus categories that earn double points or better. Two catches stand out. Offers have to be activated before you check out, or the points on that purchase are lost. And in a store you'll need your app card or phone number plus a matching government photo ID to redeem.

• 200 points equals one dollar off a qualifying purchase.
• Points don't expire while the account is active, meaning you earn or redeem at least one point in 18 months.
• Gift cards, stamps, shipping, taxes, protection plans and clearance items don't earn points.
• Points reverse if you return the purchase.

Recycling ink and toner can also earn points, up to a monthly limit shown in your dashboard. Old blog posts quote different amounts, so go with the dashboard number, not the forum chatter.

Staples return policy and price match

The question shows up in the real searches: what's the Staples return policy on printers, chairs, laptops and ink? Staples' help center says it varies by product category. Technology and furniture are listed at 14 days, online or in-store, while office supplies can be returned at any time. Opened ink is a different story, so don't tear the box open before you're sure.

Price matching is murkier. Mouse Print reported in 2018 that Staples had stopped matching prices on its website but still matched 110 percent in stores, according to a company spokesperson. That's an older statement and the in-store terms weren't published in full, so ask at the counter before you count on it.

Staples hours and Sunday visits

People constantly type "is Staples open on Sunday" and "what time does Staples close." Hours differ by location, and we won't guess; the store locator on the Staples site shows each branch. Holiday hours, such as Labor Day or the Fourth of July, are the same story: look up your own store the day before.

More than office supplies at Staples

Several things bring people through the door. According to Staples store pages we saw in search, passport photos are ready in 10 minutes or less, all US locations accept Amazon returns, and some stores act as a UPS Access Point. The same pages say US Staples stores don't take FedEx drop-off packages and don't offer curbside pickup. Services vary, so call first for notary or printing questions. Staples also runs print and marketing services for business cards, flyers and more, according to Wikipedia.
