Stationery Bargains

 I found this box of 12 good quality pencils for $3.50 at the 123$ type shop in Bishopdale Mall. I have given them the sharpening test and they passed! They are triangular which makes them comfortable to hold. There is a "free" sharpener at the bottom of the box and an effective rubber on the end of each pencil.

This Bic pen is both a red and blue pen - how handy is that!?! It was on a 97 cent special at the Warehouse Stationery in Papanui. They were in the clearance bin near the entrance.
