Renfield Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Hey Folks I was in Tesco today and notices Oxford Optik paper is half price. It says the offer is on until 5th September, but the ones I saw where: Oxford A5 Wirebound £1Oxford A4 Refill Pad £1.50Oxford A4 Wirebound £2Oxford A4 Project book £2.50 They had a lot of other offers, but nothing FP friendly as far as I know..... Not sure how long the stock will last, but gather up while you can. No other FP friendly paper beats it...Including Rhodia in my opinion.

rafapa Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Do you know if they stock the new SOS Notes line? Link to post Share on other sites
Renfield Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Do you know if they stock the new SOS Notes line? No Idea, sorry, was only paying attention to the Oxford, the did have Nu:Craze? or something below the Oxford in my local Tesco, but not sure what else http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/8703/letterminizk9.png http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/7260/postminipo0.png <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25425623/Virtual%20Pen%20Posse/button2.png"> Link to post Share on other sites
WateryFlow Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) Sounds goodI bought some clairefontain that arrived today but I don't like it, so I'm looking out to try something new. CF is way too feedback-less-ly smooth and 'greasy' - my fountain pens skips horribly whereas they don't on any other paper, and it seems to reduce the line width and shading of broad nibs Edited August 1, 2014 by WateryFlow Link to post Share on other sites
Chrissy Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Thank you for the tip. I will make sure I go and have a look at it although I haven't used this paper before. Link to post Share on other sites

Renfield Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thank you. I was referring to the new Oxford SOS Notes.http://www.oxfordsosnotes.com I don't remember seeing any, but there was a lot of school supplies, so I might not have noticed them. They did have a Project Book, which has dividers etc looks like this http://my-oxford.co.uk/student-and-education/notebook for £2.50 Ren http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/8703/letterminizk9.png http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/7260/postminipo0.png <img src="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/25425623/Virtual%20Pen%20Posse/button2.png"> Link to post Share on other sites
Zanshin Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks for the heads up, I'll check out my local Tesco. Has anyone tried their new own brand range of notebooks? They're typical 'me too' products, soft touch covers in a range of colours and elastic closure but at £5 for an A5 made in China notebook I've not felt compelled to buy one and discover yet another disappointment.

The Blue Knight Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Tried this morning and they were at there normal prices, I imagine that price is only for certain stores e.g. Only North Ireland. Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Thanks for the tip! The offer is online for those where it isn't in the shop. CHECK OUT MA BLOG! www.inkredibleblog.wordpress.com Link to post Share on other sites
mallymal1 Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 Just been looking online, and all the offer notebooks are showing currently unavailable. Link to post Share on other sites
Sach Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It's great paper indeed; just wished they offered plain and/or dot grid variants... Link to post Share on other sites
The Blue Knight Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 They also had some Staedtler Triplus crayons at half price, I was tempted but the last time used crayons was over 5 years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
vistafan Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 (edited) Is this paper similar in texture to Rhodia? I remember trying it a few years back and some of my pens did not work well with it. Edited August 2, 2014 by vistafan Link to post Share on other sites
strictlyobiter Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It was on offer in ROI stores last week too but not this week at the usual harsh conversion rate. A Tesco employee there told me it's due back for offer in the third week of August for back to school. Link to post Share on other sites

Renfield Posted August 2, 2014 Author Share Posted August 2, 2014 Maybe your back to School sale hasn't started yet, as the english schools are not long off. Here we have been off since the end of June, so maybe our prep starts early for an earlier return?
