    I used to get my stuff in Woolies? Tesco has quite a few good things for students too.

    At the moment our post office shop has massive reductions on stationery, ten pencils for 25p, rulers are 10p. Have a look.
  • student shop ... we have a copy shop and cant beat the prices there!
  • I used to get all mine in the student union shop - way cheaper than anywhere else.

    Tesco have reduced a lot of their start of term stuff so thye might be worth a try.

    Or you can do as my daughter did and ramsack the house just before you set off. She has run off with every pen, folder, notebook, market, felt tip, pencil, ruler etc in the house!
