**Best Deal Ever on PRISMACOLOR Colored Pencils (set of 72) !!!!!

[Corie]

This is the best deal ever for the Prismacolor Colored Pencils (set of 72)!!! Don't wait to buy them!! The price
fluctuates on Amazon and this is the best price on this set in 11 years.

The lowest price in CamelCamelCamel's 11-year history for the Prismacolor Colored Pencils (set of 72) is $25.00.
Currently, the price on Amazon is now $24.00.

So, I went to Staples and had Staples do their 110% price match guarantee. (Staples will match Amazon.com)
That brings the price down to $21.60 for the Prismacolor Colored Pencils (set of 72)!!!!! That is crazy!!!


And, I got even luckier! I bought the last 2 sets that my Staples had in stock. The computer rang up my total price at $35.02.
The store manager couldn't figure out how to change the price so he only charged me the $35.02.
Crazy awesome deal!!!

I am keeping one set for myself and I'm giving the other set to my daughter as a stocking stuffer!! Great gift!

Thank you!!! I just went into my Staples this afternoon to grab two 72-ct's and was FLOORED that they sell them for $99.99/each at Staples!! Needless to say, the sales associate was more than a little shocked at my "110% price guarantee" find. Several managers were called, etc. I scored 2 packages for $35.xx total, as well!! Not sure how that worked out but I am not complaining!!

This afternoon when I was purchasing mine, they were still sold and shipped from Amazon for $24. NOW they are even lower...$21.99!! Not sold by Amazon so you cannot bring it into Staples BUT it's still Prime!!

Thanks for pointing out that you can't bring to Staples unless sold by amazon! Saved me a trip and potentially missing the deal! Would have been amazing to score for $110% guarantee at that price (if PP is correct it's $100-20=80 difference so $8 off then they'd have been $12 each! WOW! But can't complain at $20.)


ETA: For those who use these, what do you use to sharpen? Reading reviews in various places it sounds like the "wax cores" are prone to breakage when you try to sharpen. Seeing some complaints that the plant was moved to Mexico and quality is poor now, cores aren't centered in wood bored hence the breakage.

Also FYI someone on SD posted that the 24 count was on clearance at their Walmart for $2 in the school supplies. May want to check. I saw some when I was there 2 days ago but it was marked $14 and scanners were broken so I didn't bother to try. Perhaps I should go back!? That's going to be a HUGE YMMV but if you're there anyway, worth a look maybe? May be a lower version Prismacolor (I didn't look closely) but maybe for the kids?

LOL for some strange reason Subscribe and Save was an option for me with a 5% discount (rather than 15% even though I have a ton of items on S&S) bringing the price from $22 to $20.90.

I saw that! lol I've had issues (rarely) where a good deal had that option to I did it to save a little more and then they item was "no longer offered under S&S program" by the time my ship date arrived so it got cancelled. Just FYI if you'd be heartbroken to miss out.

Hmmm.....do I really need these? I have an almost brand new set of whatever brand AC Moore sells and my kids have Crayola. What makes these better?

These are real art pencils - this is what my mom used in art school and still uses. They blend better than the cheap ones, but as they are made with real pigments, I don't think they qualify as "nontoxic". Bear that in mind if you have little people at home.

I think I saw a deal on the markers, too....have to go dig thru my email.

My Staples would not price match, as they could not find the "shipped by Amazon" on the mobile site. As they came out of the store room with a badly dented box, I would prefer Amazon, anyhow.

ETA - I think the color selection is better, as well the pigments as being richer and deeper than Crayola. I have to color a long time with cheap pencils to get the same amount of color on the page.

I had that same problem today, here's the solution...

Look directly below the price, where it says "prime/free one day… Delivered tomorrow for free… "

And then the next line down it will say "note: available at a lower price from other sellers"

Click on "other sellers," That will give you the list of all sellers and it will tell who is selling and at what price. Currently, it has Amazon selling it at $22.86. Once the manager saw that, they gave me the 110% price guarantee… $14ish for a pack! :-)

Staples keeps these in a back room (bring them the card hanging under the shelf tag and they will find the right item) - our boxes look just fine.
