hey if you bought them, then they should be yours. they're the cheap ones coz they didn't even provide those supplies for their employees and you had to use your personal money for things that are necessary in the office.

If you didn't get reimbursed after the first purchase you shouldn't have bought anymore. If you feel you must, start taking some small stuff home each day until your 2 weeks are up.

It would not be rude, cheap or stingy to take every last item that you pay for. After all you paid for it, it's yours. It you moved out of an apartment wouldn't you take all the furniture that you purchased while you were there?

If you walk out of a building with office supplies, even if they're yours, you will look cheap. Absolutely no way around it. If you mention to people that you paid for them, that could even make it worse. Bite the bullet, leave them there, and next time, just fill out a purchase order.

I assume you didn't ask for a reimbursement. In any case, technically you should take whatever you personally purchased.

I SUGGEST THAT THEY AREN'T YOUR'S ANYMORE.
REMOVING MAY CONSIDER TO BE THEFT..
PENS, POST IT NOTES HOLDERS AND STUFF USED EVERYDAY WOULD BE CONSIDERED PERISHABLE ITEMS THAT CONTRIBUTED TO YOUR JOB ECT AND HAS BECOME A PART OF THE WORK PLACE LIKE CURTAINS IN A HOME THAT HAS BEEN PUT UP FOR SALE...
YOU MIGHT ASK SUPERVISOR ABOUT RETRIEVING SOME OF THESE ITEMS BUT I WOULD LET THE MATTER REST...
BURNING BRIDGES AT THIS LATE STATE MAY NOT BE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE...

You can take everything that you purchased and weren't reimbursed for.

You can take it all with you, but be sure to mention it to your manager. It would be helpful too if you kept receipts.
Some companies have security guards escort employees out, even if they resigned amicably.
