Sticky Notes - self-stick notes


Can't beat the original post-it! Quite the savings on Amazon than from Staples. It's nice to get such a big package so I don't have to worry about stocking up for some time. I'm glad I found them here! Post-it Original Notes, 3 x 3 Inches, Canary Yellow, 100-Sheet Pads (12 Pads per Pack) (654)

As with other 'Post It' brand products they actually stick until you take them off, not just for the first couple of minutes. The size works well for flash cards for my son as well as for longer notes.

I don't know what we ever did without them. I've found so many uses for these from posting notes on doors, to TVs, to messages in the kitchen to office uses to temporary bookmarks, etc. I have a book of these in almost every room. And the price shown here is a great deal.

These Post-It notes work as advertised and are just the right size for all my stickable note needs. They adhere very nicely and can be easily removed without a trace of gumminess left on the paper. It's clear 3-M took the time to engineer these little marvels with precision and pride.



The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because, while the Amazon price was better than any local big box office supply store, the price could have been lower. Outside of that, great purchase :)

First, I'll assume you know what post-its are all about. In the event you don't, you can read the other review and get a very good idea. I shopped around to get the best price and ended up at Amazon. Here they are about $1.02 per pad. The super saver shipping option is included (if your purchase is $25 or more) as well. They also arrived in two days. What more could you ask for?

My life runs on Post-It Notes. The yellow kind. Just like these. My office is littered with Post-It Notes. Even in the bathroom I keep a supply for marking pages in magazines I'm reading. And right next to the bed for those first-thing-in-the-morning notes to myself when I think of something I have to do that day. My computer mouse has to fight its way through the Post-It Notes littering my desk.



Post-It Notes are indispensable.



If you've ever tried the "other" brands of self-adhesive notes, maybe you will agree with me: For the small amount of cost savings, they're just not worth it. I'm talking about the generic brands...Staples, Brand X, etc. They just don't make it. They don't stick for the long haul. They curl too much.



I once went for two years trying to fool myself that these "other notes" were just as good...that it was my imagination telling me there were problems. But finally I admitted the truth. Only the real "Post-It" gets it right.



Good as they are though, I can't quite give a 5-Star rating...have to go with only 4 Stars: Why?



First, because I'd like the yellow color to be a bit more saturated yellow.



Second, because there's no user guide. I've searched online for Post-It tutorials and can't find any...it would be nice if the manufacturer supplied a printed user guide, or even a downloadable PDF file.



I keep thinking I"m missing something...ha ha ha. - Self-stick Notes'
