expired 96 Page Exercise Book 9c at Big W

Hey all,
I was at my local Big W in Stafford yesterday and saw this bargain that I thought you might like. I'm not sure if it's nationwide or a store special, but they have 96 page exercise books going for 9c each! There didn't seem to be a limit on the number you could buy, I bought 9 and the person across from me bought about 30.
They had other specials there but nothing as good as this one IMO
Thanks,
Kizz

I guess it depends on the person i guess.
If you add up the amount of pages you get in each pack its 320 pages for 5 cents as opposed to 96 pages for 9 cents.

Just curious- has anyone been able to get the 5x48pg pack from coles? I think woolies is having a similar special this week. For some reason the stores around my area never have them :(

Always sold out at campsie and I go everyday.
That store is the worst.I went to Rockdale and there was a full shelf.
Oh and don't get those 5 cents for your kids schoolwork.
They will hate you for it, the pages are also not bleached as much and furthermore, kids are EVIL when it comes to bragging about stationery!!!
I won't comment on whether teachers like reading from those books.- +2 votes
Less bleaching presumably means less chemicals dumped into the environment. Seeing as this is a cheap product almost certainly made in China, the chemicals (probably chlorine based bleach) would be dumped into the nearest stream.

Are these exercise books made from partly recycled paper or at least sourced from sustainably managed timber plantations? We as consumers can place pressure on manufacturers to import better products.
5x64 page pack of A5 books is 5 cents as well.
