Paper prices

Wow, the price of paper is going up as fast as gas. Staples legal paper was $4.50/ream and I needed a ream yesterday $6.99/ream.

Did something happen to the paper industry for such a major increase in 2 months?

Mike,

I do not know if you have a Costco in NJ or not. If you do, they have a case (10 reams) of legal size for $19.99. www.costco.com

Staples, Office Depot, Office Max are all full retail, and way overpriced.

Hope this helps.

In the TX area I'm in the legal paper is $25 a case. Still a great deal.

I buy paper by the case, but from time to time I need to run out for a ream. Staples prices seem to of went up alot in the last 2 months and was wondering what may of cause such an increase.

I need to renew my Costco account, BJ's by me doesn't sell legal paper.

Sam's Club seems to be the best priced in most areas according to the posts on this board.

Office Depot's brand of legal size paper is $37.00 per case which is $3.70 per ream.
