15 Best Websites to Buy Discounted Office Supplies

The cheapest places to buy office supplies online are the office specialists for rewards and price matching (Staples, Office Depot and OfficeMax), Amazon and Walmart for everyday prices, Dollar Tree for basics from $1.25, and Costco or Sam’s Club for paper and toner in bulk. Office Depot Rewards pays 2% back plus $2 for each recycled ink cartridge, Staples matches Amazon, Walmart and Office Depot prices in its stores, and Amazon’s Subscribe & Save takes up to 15% off repeat orders. Here are 15 stores and what each one does best as of November 2026.

1. Amazon

Amazon has the widest range of office supplies, from pens to desk chairs, and three programs lower the price of what you buy there often.

• Subscribe & Save takes up to 15% off when five or more products arrive in one auto-delivery to one address; prices can still change between shipments, so check the order review email.
• Amazon Resale, formerly Warehouse Deals, sells customer returns, open-box and warehouse-damaged items below the new price.
• A free Amazon Business account adds quantity discounts and case packs; Business Prime is free for 30 days.

2. Office Depot & OfficeMax

Office Depot and OfficeMax share one rewards program, which is the main reason to shop there for supplies, furniture and tech.

• Rewards members get 2% back in rewards on supplies, furniture and technology, plus members-only offers.
• Recycle empty ink and toner cartridges for $2 each in rewards, up to 10 a month, when you make a qualifying $10 purchase in the same month.

3. Staples

Staples suits home offices and small businesses that reorder the same items, and it price matches several big competitors.

• AutoRestock subscriptions save 5% on one item or 10% on two or more, with free delivery.
• The in-store price match covers identical new items from Office Depot and OfficeMax, Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Amazon.com, FedEx Office and The UPS Store, but not third-party marketplace sellers. Bring proof of the lower price; receipts must be dated within 14 days.
• Easy Rewards, Staples’ loyalty program, adds member offers on top of these savings.

4. Walmart

Walmart is a good default for cheap everyday supplies such as folders, notebooks and pens, online or in a store.

• Check Rollbacks and clearance for temporary price cuts, especially after back-to-school season.
• Walmart+ ($12.95 a month or $98 a year) adds free delivery and shipping if you order often.

5. Quill

Quill, owned by Staples, sells office and breakroom supplies in business quantities, so it works best for offices that restock paper, toner and coffee on a schedule.

• Compare Quill’s price with Staples’ before you order, since the two often carry the same brands.

6. Target

Target is strongest on school-style supplies such as notebooks, binders and planners, which are cheapest during its back-to-school sales.

• Join Target Circle free for member deals and a birthday gift.
• The Target Circle Card takes 5% off Target purchases and adds free shipping on most Target.com items.

7. Dollar Tree

Dollar Tree’s main price point is $1.25, which makes it the cheapest option for sticky notes, pens, tape and envelopes. Many stores also carry items above $1.25.

• On DollarTree.com you can buy items by the case, and many come in smaller quantities too, which suits classrooms and offices.

8. Overstock

Overstock sells discounted office furniture and storage, and shipping is free on orders over $49.99.

• Watch for its sitewide sales around holidays, when desks and chairs get the deepest cuts.

9. Best Buy

Best Buy is the better pick for office electronics such as printers, shredders, monitors and label makers.

• Check the open-box section for returned items sold below the new price.
• Best Buy’s price match guarantee lets you ask for a lower price found at qualifying competitors.

10. Sam’s Club

Sam’s Club sells paper, pens, toner and breakroom supplies in bulk packs, which cost less per unit than smaller packs.

• Instant Savings are applied automatically at checkout on qualifying items.
• The Plus membership adds Sam’s Cash rewards and free shipping on most items.

11. Costco

Costco sells copy paper, pens and shredders in bulk, including its Kirkland Signature brand.

• The Executive membership costs $130 a year and earns about 2% back on qualified purchases, capped at $1,250 in any 12-month period.

12. The Container Store

The Container Store is the place for desk organizers, file storage and shelving rather than consumables.

• Organized Insider, its free loyalty program, replaced POP! and adds member discounts and a birthday offer.
• Check clearance for discontinued organizers.

13. AliExpress

AliExpress sells office basics and organizers straight from overseas sellers at low prices, but delivery takes longer than from US stores.

• Buying higher quantities from one seller usually lowers the unit price.
• Check seller ratings and reviews before you order.

14. eBay

eBay is useful for discontinued or hard-to-find items and for refurbished printers and shredders.

• Use Buy It Now when you need supplies quickly and filter for free shipping on small items.

15. Boxed

Boxed sells bulk household and office basics online for home delivery. After its 2023 bankruptcy, Boxed.com was bought by MSG Distributors, which said it would keep serving Boxed customers, so check current shipping terms before you order.
