After work I ran by Office Depot to get a new 3 or 5 subject notebook. I have 4 pages left in the one I bought in September 2007. I keep all my to do lists, phone calls and notes for work in it. On the way to the notebooks I spotted a display bin in the middle of the main aisle marked Hot Deals. I saw sharpies, highlighters, glue, scissors, tape, pens and more marked anywhere from $1.50 - 20cents. I immediately had my hands too full and had to go get a basket. I was so excited. Here is a photo of what I came home with:

Can you believe it? I love sharpies and they are just too expensive to justify ever buying them. I love all things office supplies.
I especially love a bargain!!!!!

Oh man, I love me some mini sharpies... guess where I am going tomorrow?
I wish I could have gone with you. And I'm glad it is not just me who thinks that Sharpies, while very cool and handy to have around, are pretty expensive!
