I just bought a Targus Voyager notebook backpack at Staples for $49.97 - 50% off clearance item = $24.98. It is a clearance item so not every Staples has it in stock and the 50% off clearnce is really up to each store manager's discretion. I don't have the sku number for it so I couldn't find it on Staples website, but the upc code is: 092636226152
It is exactly the same as this one at Future Shop:

I got it from Western Road/401 Staples. I got the last one so I don't think they have anymore but they do have other nice laptop bags though.

Well GTA is sold out according to 2 different stores :( If I can locate I would be buying 2 of them for future uses. If anyone locates a store that has them from Toronto to London please pm me with location ( we are heading to London over the weekend)

SKU # for those looking for it is 657909...it's not on their website because it's a clearance item and the store next to me said it is sold out everywhere in the GTA...Ottawa however has 7 or 8 in stock so if you're in Ottawa, you can call to make sure that they still have it.

A note with these bags... I bought one at FS one day, and then like a year and a half later it broke... I was in staples and had it, saw the new models and they say "lifetime warranty" on them... I just handed them my old bag and they gave me a bran new one!!! YMMV to the extreme on that one though.
They do wear out after 1 year+ of everyday use.

So you took the broken one you bought from Future Shop to Staples and they replaced it for you with a new one? Wow, that was easy!:cheesygri :cheesygri :cheesygri

It certainly was! I'm sure that targus just sent them a new bag anyway, before all the flamers come and attack me for ripping them off...

you guys say this bag is HUGE. Is it only huge when you fill it up, or does it remain huge and bulky even when empty?
I don't see a spot for a water bottle...

its huge to fill stuff but feels and looks like a normal backpack.. Its nice fitting. Hubby carry's two laptops and cords, accessories and many other things and there is still room for minor stuff. There is no water bottle holder as far as i know but there is a blackberry/cellphone holder on the upper shoulder of it :)
He thinks its well worth it at even $99 from Futureshop so $25 if you can find it from Staples is a deal.

Hey no problem...that's what RFD is all about right...dont want to let it go to all the hoarders :D
Btw, those two were the last ones in the GTA so if anyone is still looking for one, the only place that has it left is in Ottawa..good luck :D

Thanks OP ! Just picked up one at the London East Staples.
It was marked down to 49.99, but then the manager marked it down further to $24.98 because of a current sale. Yeah.
I had to call a few stores but apparently London East has another three or four on the floor in overstock ...
Thanks again.

actually, it depends on whether or not the store has such clearance for tech. items.
each store (at certain times) has diff. % discounts for tech/office items.
if the store doesn't advertise such % discount for clearance items, you can ask for a discount, but they're certainly not obligated to give one to you

None in Vancouver.
A store in North Vancouver had 22 according to their inventory, but that was in error.

This is a great backpack. I have had mine for about 18 months and still love it. The thing about this backpack is it looks big, but I find myself not having enough space in it. I usually can only fit my laptop, a few books and a couple notebooks. If you do fill up the main two compartments, there is almost no way to fit anything in the insulated pocket. This is a really great backpack. Th space will be sufficient for most, but students may find the space limiting.

Just returned mine to Shopper's World Staples in Brampton. It should still be sitting behind customer service desk if anyone is interested. Don't forget to ask for 50% off for that clearance item.
