It back to school soon so Aldi's cheap ballpoint pen and pencil packs are available again. Works out to just over 4c each.
There may be other stationery bargains but I'm not familiar with regular prices so judge for yourself: http://www.aldi.com.au/au/html/offers/offers_20130109.htm
Starting 9th Jan so don't look for them until next Wed.
