Costco Paper

I used to just go and buy a few reams of letter and legal paper at a time, and it got me by. But as my business has increased, as well as the cost of the paper, that no longer seemed like a good idea.

I was stunned how much money I saved by buying paper at Costo online. 10 reams of legal for $37.62, and 10 reams of letter for $29.59 plus only $4 tax and free shipping. I ordered them midday on Tuesday and they were delivered to my door on Wednesday morning! Amazing!

Anybody know anything cheaper?

When I was buying by the individual pack at Staples, legal was up to $9 a ream including tax and the letter size was up to $4 including tax.

I was at Office Depot a few days ago, they had letter sized on sale, 2 cases for $52. One case was $30.

Re: $1.99 per ream legal~Partially OT

I found some legal paper at the ESL Whse in Monrovia, CA. $1.99 per ream. I took every ream I saw on the shelves! I had never even heard of this place until my hubby's co-worker told him about it. They have a lot of Costco left overs and floor models. That day I saw a brand new couch for $99 and a Brother MFC all in one for $199. I also purchased a brand new Bulova Watch for $25. They even have designer bags! (not knock offs) From what I understand, they get shipments in all the time and their inventory varies. Worth checkin out if you're in the area....

Re: That makes me think.... How many others are there?

We have a store here called Spokane Discount. They stock all of Costco's returns and damaged boxes. I get legal paper for $1.69 per ream. Letter, when I can find it is usually $2.69. I buy all I can get. We just bought a brand new, never opened, in the box, SHARP flat panel LCD TV that was considerably lower priced than we found anywhere!

I wonder how many other cities have stores like this that sell Costco's returns and damaged (open box)goods.

It might be worth it to check with your local Costco to see if one exists in your area....

And, now that I'm thinking about it. If you don't have a store like this, it may be a GREAT business venture...one that the XYZ company hasn't heard about! Sssshhhhh!

I've been there years ago, forgot it existed. If it's the same place I'm thinking about, I think it's near old town. I know it's the west side of Myrtle, I wanna say Chestnut St but not sure.

Sheesh.....I still overspent. Thanks all of you for opening my eyes. I know there's no ESL here but I'll have to look around at other possibilities.
