I must have about 10 or 12 boxes of ACCO paper clips laying around here from all the hot deals that I get when you need a penny or 20c more to use a coupon or something;)

Give them to people who need it. Either that or just give them to some work place or charity that needs office equipment.

I got a few of them. My friend the moron ordered the 10pk of paperclips instead of the 1pk.

Now I order a pen, envelopes, or something useful like that now. Only if they would sell stamps.

Yes. But, it's surprising how often they come in handy. I had a bunch of kids over last week and I gave them each a box of paper clips, and they were quiet and happy for a lot longer than I expected. Till they started stealing each other's clips to make the chains longer.

Now I need something for 2 cents from amazon to get free shipping. Darn, where are those paper clips when you need them?

I have a few and some packages of rubber bands. They're actually handy every so often but otherwise they're just waiting to be used.

If there was something we could do with paper clips and rubbers that would be something special.

I find it funny how staples does seperate shipping. I've gotten many packages with only 1 box of $0.79 paper clips in them.
