Re: Discounters lure in school supply buyers

Office supplier Staples Inc. said it won't follow Wal-Mart's lead,
either. Company spokeswoman Katie Sullivan on Monday said the company
already has low prices on supplies and has rolled out its back-to-
school program. "At this point, we have no intention to change our
current pricing strategy," Sullivan said.

I guess that looking in the weekly circular was beyond the
ability of the reporter, since if he had, he would have noticed
that Staples is selling folders for a penny each (this week
only) that he talked about being a steal for 10 cents. They also
have pencils for 5 cents for 8 (was a penny a couple of weeks
ago).
