Amazon has the 72 count box of Ticonderoga pencils for only $9.99 right now! This is a great deal on a great pencil. If you’re new to having a kid in school, let me give you a little tip that will save you a lot of aggravation over the years: skip the 25 cent deals on pencils and go straight for Ticonderoga.  They sharpen up beautifully and never leave you with a point that is half-lead, half-wood.
