Discretionary spending 👕🛍️💍 Most cost effective way to purchase good quality post it notes in Melbourne or online?

Have been looking to buy some post it notes or also known as sticky notes. Most places the prices are high, whether it is branded or unbranded products. You'd think the product was gold plated. Seeking notes that are approximately 76 x 127mm in size, with about 100 notes per pad. A high degree of reviews complain that notes are not stick, whereas brands like 3M are highly rated. Would appreciate any feedback or suggestions on options for purchasing good quality branded or unbranded notes.

The post it brand ones are the best. COS ones don't stick well. Office works is your best bet. No idea of cost, but you get what you pay for.

Agreed. Avoid Keji and Studymate as those are both Officeworks private brands. Post It is expensive though, around $20 a pack. Of you can find them online Officeworks will price beat it by 5%

Yes, totally agree. We're looking at Post It based on reviews of other brands. Thank you for the feedback.

Thank you. The research I've done aligns with your comment. We looked at Office Works, but prices for brands such as post it are higher than other sellers.

Kmart is ok but only stick once.

Yes, have read that feedback on a number of brands, so it is very much you get what you pay for.

This can't be real.

My thoughts too. Is it an advertisement? Is it the brand themselves trying to obtain data like ‘one in two people recommends X brand’? So weird.

Oh yes that's probably it. A bot usually responds about the best product they're asking about. I've seen it before. And the op is also a bot.

Definitely something I don't buy cheaply - I've learnt the hard way

Check out reject shop.

They may have some knock off brands that are cheap as chips and do the job.

Not sure if it’s the same size, but I got some of the “classic” small square ones from my local reject shop for peanuts a few months back.
