    Add me to the list of TI-82 and TI-89 owners dating back to my high school days making them at least 25 years old and still going strong.

    I had to buy my own so I got a Casio one that worked great but when I pulled it out again for ds1 last summer it was dead. Bummer.
    They may last a long time but I still get angry over the monopoly and price gouging. Esp if they’re now building in planned obsolescence with nonreplaceable rechargeable batteries.

    I went ahead and purchased the calculator at Staples for $89. I just looked at the Meifers circular and their deal is to buy the calculator at regular price but save $40 on your next shopping trip.

    I was just coming to post that the best I've seen is Meijer for Aug 3 and 4 (FRi/Sat). It's School Bucks. So buy for $125 and use a coupon to get $20 off then get $40 back for your next purchase. $65 is what it ends up being. I really think last year, it was also on sale for $100 or so, but not this time.

    I'm always amazed at the deals people find at Goodwill/Salvation Army! I've never had that luck.

    LOL, yes that usually happens to me too

    Thank you for posting! I took the kids to start back-to-school shopping and this was the first thing we bought.

    Still $88 right now so I went ahead and bought one. If anyone is looking for a case this one is great. We bought it for my older son a few years ago and it really protects the calculator.

    We don’t have a list yet, but this was my fear! I hope someone posts a great deal like the staples one!

    If you haven't found one, Target has them in store for $99.
