Academic Diaries?

Everywhere except blackwells near me seems to have sold out of academic diaries - and they're all soo expensive in blackwells! Where's the cheapest place to get one?

    Tescos might have some left? my local one had them half price only a week or so ago, but its only a tiny store so they sold out. Bigger stores might still have them though.

    the other option is to go to any stationers, where a 2006 diary would be dirt cheap. this time last year i picked one
    up in partners for about 30p!

    I got one free from my uni when I got my NUS card (and not the one that costs £10 either!!). Have you got any of those cheapie stationary shops in your town? Our 'stationary box' has them in Plymouth. or try the NUS shop?
  • I got mine in the works - think it was 1.25, if there isn't one near you they do have a website - but delivery is 2.95!

    Woolworths (admittedly mind has little miss sunshine on it, they didn't have any of the grown up ones left - though they did the day after)

    Ask where the 'print unit' is (internal university reprographics) they often sell academic diaries.
