Chalkboard Placemats — Episode 2: Price Break

When last seen here in Episode 1 on January 25, 2007, a set of 4 cost $30.

Today they're less than half that, thanks to the sterling efforts of my crack research team, whose refusal to take anything as definitive leads them to endlessly revisit the same things, waiting for something to change.

Even an anosmic pig finds an acorn every now and then.

But I digress.

From the product website:

Chalkboard Placemats

Little ones love dinnertime doodling on these wipe-clean placemats!

Any meal is fun when kids play games, draw pictures or write notes on the soft EVA "chalkboard" surface.

Set includes four 17"L x 12"W mats, each with bright border and pocket — plus box of chalk and sponge for easy cleaning with water.

Ages 3 and up.
