Isn’t it a beautiful sight!?

I went to Wal-mart and did our yearly notebook stock-up. The 70 page spiral notebooks are on sale for 15 cents and the 100 page compositon notebooks are 25 cents.

Unfortunately, I can’t help thinking about how these kinds of loss-leader promotions at Walmart are a big part of why everything’s made in China now and so many US-based notebook manufacturers have merged with other companies and gone out of business… but I guess the flip side is that 15-cent notebooks make it a lot more accessible for kids at all income levels to be able to draw and scribble and write as much as their creativity demands.

  1. I’d have spent the entire 25 dollars and gotten even more notebooks!!! …and maybe a sheet of cute stickers. Stacy, I envy you for your ability to manage self control! ;-)
