Are you totally skint? Need to make a note of something , but can't afford a writing instrument? Too paranoid to steal one from the work stationery cupboard? Get yourself not one but TWO quality Columbia pencils for just 15c!

Useful for writing, drawing, doing that rub-through thing that shows up the relief pattern on coins, poking sibling's eyes out, miniature baton twirling, tapping annoyingly on tables and many other things!

The 2B was 15c, the HB was 25c for 2-pack. Both marked at $1.00 a pack originally. Nope, I haven't checked StaticIce for a better price!

Also found 45cm FLEXIBLE RULERS for 15c (down from $1). They were straight, and had lines and numbers imprinted at evenly spaced intervals. And, because they are flexible, you can measure things that are not flat, like a lemur!

Next up, a gorgeous 16-piece DINNER SET for just $5. These are a stoneware with a brown painted geometric pattern. Pretty thick and not exactly elegant. But almost cheaper than paper plates for your next BBQ or wedding!

Finally… for only $2.50, we have a robust yet flexible LPG GAS HOSE to connect your camping stove to the gas bottle. This is exceptionally useful if your old hose was broken when you tripped over the stove after that 37 hour beer drinking session, and failed attempt at cooking eggs and bacon for munchies.

All found tonight at K-mart North Rocks in Sydney, but probably on clearance everywhere. Your milage may vary, all care taken but no responsibility accepted if you miss out on these deals. Don't worry about being kind, I don't deserve it after trampsing around that place all night scouring the shelves for bargains for you, taking photos, uploading!

    Reading this beats listening to the script on those late night TV extended-ad shows! ;-) +1 for the write up and I hope the store detective didn't think you were up to something with the photos ;-)

    PS. Cheapskates can price match the pencils at Officeworks but you might lose the extra savings in rounding lol

    • Hintswen on 14/05/2011 - 08:02

      cheapskates or ozbargainers?

      If you need 100 or so for some reason… could save a few cents >_>

    This really cracked me up! The positive I'm giving is mainly due to the humour accompanying the post. And you've convinced me, a self-confessed cheapskate, to drop by at Kmart tomorrow to grab some of the above-mentioned bargains.

    • bendertiger on 14/05/2011 - 14:55

      Yep, I'm giving it a plus as well just due to the sense of humour involved, but a good deal also

  • minijumbuk on 14/05/2011 - 02:37

      +1 to you for bringing the phrase "snot-clogged face" into this world

    • jdr on 14/05/2011 - 07:44

      I always thought that Ian Thorpe meant something else by "fully sick" in his cereal commercials.

    • bendertiger on 18/05/2011 - 00:33

      I know how you feel…

    and +1 to original poster for mentioning cheap stoneware plates but resisting a cheap shot on greeks for their ability to break plates as part of festivities

    • llama on 14/05/2011 - 08:31

      The temptation was almost overwealming… but then I remembered that Greeks tend to be sensitive people, and deserve more respect than that. LOL :-)

  • tamaebty on 14/05/2011 - 07:43

    Ha ha - too funny! Worth a positive for the commentary!

  • omniX32 on 14/05/2011 - 08:05

    It really is all about presentation. +1 from me.

      Hey - thanks to that thread, I ended up meeting that hot asian chick, we got together, settled down, and we now have three kids and two of them are in school.

      What do you mean it's too soon?

    A good read after waking up on a chilly Melbourne morning.

  • heathwithnoteeth on 14/05/2011 - 11:55

    i can confirm that the stoneware dinner sets were $5 at the Kurralta Park store here in SA

  • Foma2 on 14/05/2011 - 13:18

    as i was driving past KMart Firle, got a metal ruler for 15 cents (along with some other stuff).
    best deal ever percentagewise.

    2B pencils 15c at KMart Innaloo as well but they are gouging people on the HB pencils for 25c!

      it's observations like this that make me wsh I married OzBargain instead of my wife

    • llama on 14/05/2011 - 15:02

      Yeah - HB @ 25c as-per the original post (see photo). Even when on clearance, retailers still know that they can get a few more cents on more popular lines.

  • StalkingIbis on 14/05/2011 - 14:31

    just got back from looknig for a laptop. this is all i bought lol. guess i dont need to post it now

  • halfrabbit on 14/05/2011 - 14:42

    I cannot beat the description, but at Kmart Armidale yesterday there was a three pack of mechanical pencils marked down to 15 cents. Also 180 refill HB leads for 15 cents.

  • Craze on 14/05/2011 - 18:36

    Bugger, was at a Kmart yesterday but didn't go through the stationary aisle so totally missed out on these bargains!

    • obsolet on 14/05/2011 - 19:57

      Last time I checked all aisles in Kmart were stationary. The people were moving though ;)

      • Alzori on 18/05/2011 - 23:29

  • flipstardirect on 17/05/2011 - 19:10

    24hrs Kmart at Broadway should hire you as one of those guys in front of stores with a mic and a small amp who shouts out all manner of crazy bargains to passersby (i.e. a spruiker extraordinaire)

    • Alzori on 18/05/2011 - 23:29

      He should get stilts!

  • McMerc on 19/05/2011 - 22:09

    They are all 15c now - pencils that is.
