Back-to-school season is usually the time of year you get the best deals on school supplies, but if you’re in need of some pencils right now, Walmart has a great deal for you.
You can get this 96-count box of Ticonderoga Yellow Wood-Cased #2 Pencils for $4.97, which is just 5 cents per pencil. At first glance, it may not seem like a great deal, but the pack is regularly $16.79, so you’re actually saving $11.82.
Walmart does not say how long the deal will last, but you can probably expect it won’t be around for long.
