Not sure of the right place to put this (or if it's even condoned) but I saw a sale on Sharpies at Staples - fine point 12-pack of assorted colors for $3.



It's not the most fantastical set of colors, but for that price, I can imagine making use of the green, blue, brown and black pretty easily. I think the offer is only good for today.

In for two. Even if I don't use them for terrain, they are handy as a teacher...

With the $2 in rewards I had it I bought one for $1
Thanks for the heads up!

Just noticed in my local Staples flier (good Jan 8 - Jan 14) two things I hope are still in my local store:

1) 5-pack of Bic Mark-it black pens. $1. limit 4. I prefer Sharpies, but I use these a lot too.
2) 20"x30" white foamboard for $2. limit 4. I usually get the black 40x30 sheets from Staples, but this is pretty cheap, so I'll give it a try!

I got an email today saying that they were out of stock for the Sharpies I ordered That sucks. The 5-pack you mention is a nice deal, but I have no way to get there during business hours this week with my crazy schedule.

Aw. Sorry 'bout that.

I don't usually do online orders since now there's a Staples practically across the street from me. I was able to scoop up a lot of foamboard today, and even more packs of pens for edging.
