Staples sale - 50 pens for $6

sh00k - 20 Jul 2009, 02:49 pm
I am not really a fan of generic pens so I would never buy this. I am putting this up in case someone needs a whole bunch of cheap pens to give away or something.

Anyway, this week, staples has their staples brand pens on sale. In particular, they have a 50-pack of medium sized ballpoint pens for $6.

50 pens for $6 comes out to about 12 cents a pen. the regular price on this is $11 dollars or 22 cents a pen. pretty good deal.

to view this deal, go onto the staples homepage and click "view weekly deals" . it's on page 5 of the online circular.

Just throwing this up here in case anyone is interested.

np. i think lonegunman bought a bunch of generic pens recently so i figure maybe he may find this to be a good deal...

it's funny - i would never buy generic pens but i do buy generic notebooks to do my math work in. i go through a lot of generic notebooks with math work so i dont mind the lower quality paper.

pens, however, have to be the best of the best! heh

Don't laugh, we buy these things by the case for our office whenever they go on sale.

With the work we do, we're honestly "losing" 5 pens a day whenever we conduct closings. These pens have proven to be lifesavers in terms of cost savings.

They're actually pretty comfortable, write extremely smoothly, and have pretty rich colors.

Never judge a pen by its branding!

I beg to differ. We use Staples ballpoints @ work and they write like poo on some surfaces.

=)

Also, Target has boxes of Papermate pens, for cheap.

i think 40 or 50c only!

i wish they'd have some darn 10 for a dollar notebooks.....lol


PS: Box of 25 pens i think. or maybe more.

Whatever it was, it was an AWESOME deal!
