Default Crayola 150-ct Crayon Tower $2.90 at Staples (YMMV)

My Staples store had Crayola telescoping Crayon Tower for $2.90 and the telescoping Pipsqueak Marker Tower for $3.60. There were a ton of them, but near the food and cleaning supplies. The tags said regular price is $10 on the crayons, but walmart.com has them for over $20 and the markers for $15.xx.

ETA: I wanted to edit this to add that this was under a "clearance" banner, but near the food. There was lots of other clearance merch as well.


Edited to add that according to other posters, these are the SKU #s that people have reported the stores need to look up the item. These are different than the UPC numbers that appear on the receipt:
Crayon Tower 682329
Pipsqueak Marker Tower 682331


Edited again to add info from Corie (thanks!) since a white tub of Crayola Model Magic is also ringing up for $2.50:
Staples number for the
white Model Magic -- is 414852.

Do you have an item # for either one? I would rather call and see if my store has them at those prices before I drive over. They would be good classroom gifts too.

Thanks.

Thank you for posting, I got the pip squeaks set for 3.xx! Wish they had the crayons in stock but I didn't see them anywhere.
Great deal!

I just called the store closest to me and they are telling me they are $10. I called another store and they are all gone. Oh well. It wasn't meant to be...Thanks.

Glad you all are finding them, too! I agree it's too good a deal not to share/donate. I gave one to the lady who regularly cleans our house on her way out the door today to give to her son. Not to mention I already got my money's worth by giving them to my own son this rainy afternoon. He loves the way it raises up and displays all the colors.
