This year, Staples Canada is taking their Teacher Appreciation Days one step further by offering teacher savings anytime you shop between August 17 and September 7, 2013. That means for three weeks, educators can save 15% off in-store purchases. Of course, some exclusions apply such as computers, e-readers, iPods, for example. And you still need to bring teacher ID but you'll also walk away with a super cute Apple Post-it note dispenser and earn 10x Air Miles reward miles when you spend $75 or more.

And there's more! When you join the new Teacher Appreciation email program, you will receive money-saving coupons, special Air Miles reward miles bonus offers, information on teacher-related events and an automatic entry for a chance to win monthly prizes.

Also, don't forget to check out the new Staples easyBlog. My first few back-to-school articles are up!

Call me cray cray, but I'm getting excited for Back to School. Aren't you?
