I mainly need a USB memory stick for school, but I'm also looking for a printer and mouse for my new laptop. For the printer, all I need is for it to print color and be reliable. I don't care if the mouse is a "laptop" mouse or not.

I'd rather not use MIRs, but if they dramatically make the price cheaper, I could do it.

You can get all of that for about $50 at a local big box retailer. How large do you want your memory stick to be?

Really, I only need a few MB, but I'd like for it to be as big as it can while still being cheap. Seeing as how many 1GB models are around $20 normally, it'd be nice if there was one for under $5.

These are the best prices on name brand flash drives I have seen :

What grade are you in? In college, usually your instructors will give you a thumbdrive.

At least mine did.

I was joking, the only thing you can do is check deal websites see if they have one after mail in rebate for that price.

I WISH that were true at my school!

Just a 128, but that's more than enough for school documents.
