It can be a huge undertaking to set up an office. Especially because most of us, including myself, now must set up a makeshift office space at home due to COVID-19. It is difficult to make the most of your space and decide what you need or do not need.
Farm Bureau members are fortunate to have Office Max/Office Depot as a member benefit provider. Members can save up to 60% at Office Depot/Office Max on all office essentials, at www.azfb.org, login and then click on Member Benefits.
“I save at Office Max everytime I shop,” said Matt Schmidbauer Farm Bureau Financial Services agent. “The saving varies depending on the items I purchase. Sometimes I only save a couple dollars on one item, but the savings adds up over time. I’m setting up a new office, so every dollar counts.”
