A daily chore for me is writing, my job requires it, I have a computer, but it's not the bulk of…read moreour business, at least not yet (working on going paperless), it seems that I manage to go through a pen a week, if I use what my manager buys, the skinny little plastic pens that leak, break and often end of making the hand hurt, I wouldn't be able to write for long.
So I am always on the look out for just the right pen, one that fits my hand, the area of pressure that my fingers feel during each stroke is cushioned, that requires a fatter pen than most. I like a gel pen, it seems to flow more fluid like on the paper.
Today I am searching the Staples store. There are many different brands and styles to choose from, previously I had bought a Staples brand pen that seemed to fit just right, it's refill packs come with two black and one blue medium gel ink refills for $2 so I figure it's worth it.
But I wanted to try something new and picked up a couple different pens, as I was going to the check out register, I found a display with a new product that was gel ink pens, three pack made from recycle plastic bottles. How cool is that, I bought a pack and couldn't wait to give them a try, what better way to minimize waste and help the environment. I use both bottle water and pens, so this seemed like a win win situation.
Once I actually used them, they worked very well for me, and am looking forward to getting more. The Staples Office Superstore always has good prices, and good deals, if you sign up for the members card, you can receive coupons and even take advantage of their many rebate offers as well. Compared to other office supply stores, Staples seem to have the right prices, the right selection, and now with three locations in Vegas, closer to home!
