Since 1938 schools, offices and homes around the world have used the Ballpoint pen with the majority being made by BiC who first patented the device all those years ago. In the current economic climate we can't forget that cutting costs on everyday items musn't be overlooked. So take a look at the difference in price between some of the leading online stationery suppliers.
We've done a quick comparison on BiC Ballpoint pens, and some competitors and the cheapest price we could find is Integrated Office Supplies who are selling a Pack of 50 - White Box Pack of 50 Ball Point Pens for £1.20. That's only 0.2p per pen! As you can see below that's 74% cheaper than Euroffice and represents a saving of £11.61 (91%)when compared to the BiC Ballpoint originals.

Free £20 High Street Gift Voucher when you spend over £179 @euroffice
Euroffice are offering high street vouchers to the value of £20 when you spend over £179 this week. These can be claimed at M&S, HMV, Boots, Next and a host of other stores.
If your thinking of taking up this offer make sure you shop around first as there maybe better buys. If your thinking of buying small quantities of a range of items it might be worth checking out paperstone.co.uk as they have some very keen pricing at the moment but don't offer quantity discounts. Alternatively if your buying in bulk say a large quantity of copier paper - 10 + boxes then don't be afraid to ring up and haggle. There's plenty of competition around and they want your business.
