Filed underpens
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.

BOGOF on Selected Pens and Display Books @ryman
Ryman are offering buy one get cheapest free on selected Pens and Display books . I had a look at the first product on the list - Ryman Project Book 250 Page A5 Dividers Asssorted . This looks like an own brand Pukka Pad and the offer price looks good. I'm a big fan of these and in the office we've been using the Pukka Pads for years - ideal for note taking at meetings and just general use when I'm at the desk. In fact I'm hardly ever without it and am always referring back to see what I was doing at particular points in time.
There's no end date specified so if your interested I would get over there now.
