Hi all
Just wondered where the cheapest place to buy paper etc is? I go through loads, and I also use lots of 'Quink' ink for a fountain pen. It's quite expensive in WHSmiths. Can anyone recommend anywhere online?
Thanks :)

    Hi,
    stationary box was a good place to get the odd thing from. Supermarkets are sometimes cheap for pens etc and occasionally have buy one get one frees on stationary.
    For online things, always try ebay lol thats the first place i go to. And if you do your weekly shop online, you can look at that supermarkets stationary section online and see if you can just add it to your basket.

    Always try poundland too! :)

    hey, i usually guy folders / notebooks and that type of stuff from poundland. For plain / lined paper try Morrisons or Tesco as Poundland is not great quality and stationary box is expensive for that.

    For lined paper, sometimes Woolworths, WHSmith or Stationery Box do 2 for 1 or 3 for 2 offers on the pads of lined paper, so get about 10 pads when they do this to ensure you won't have to go buying them again for a while.

    Wilkinsons usually have a pretty good selection and are fairly cheap.
