I don't know whether you can get this in your neck of the woods, but I have
found the bic disposable pencils with the lead retracted, a cost-effective
stylus. The plastic appears to be pretty soft and there doesn't seem to be
excessive wear on my Nushields. I do keep a black panache stylus in the
silo but it's too easy to lose and when I do really need a pencil, its right
there in my hand already.

I use now a Herlitz pen for 3.33USD in which I replaced the marker tip with
the Newton tip, actually one from Rotring. Finally I prefer the Herlitz pen
because you can change between the tips with one Hand and without much
fiddeling. With the Rotring pen this action is a bit more complicated,
especially because the right symbol has to turned upwards and releasing the
tip needs search for the small button. There is another brand pen at which
one can change the tip by simple twisting of two parts of the case and very
easily with one hand only, but I forgot its name. Bought it in an
airplane...
