Paper ...

Walked into Big Lots today and there was a small stack of legal size paper at $2.29 / ream. Needless to say there is not any more legal paper in that store today.

When looking for deals on supplies, don't overlook unconventional sources like estate sales, swap meets, garage sales ....

It's been a while since I have paid full price for paper ...

Glenn, I really appreciate you posting this note re paper..

..I would have never thought of going to BigLots to shop for paper. There are at least two of these stores in my city and I will go to both of them tomorrow.

I have discovered that Wal-Mart sells letter size paper for less then BigLots. BigLots was selling a ream for $3.50 and Wal-Mart was selling a ream for $2.97. I've never seen legal size paper at Wal-Mart though so I'll check my local BigLots to see if they have legal size paper.

WalMart about he same here.
The WalMart here has legal by the ream at about $5.75.
I generally get legal size at Sams Club for about $46 a 10 ream/5000 sheet ream case.
I use around 2 case a week so I buy 5 cases at a time along with other supplies.

I once found 8 reams of legal paper on the clearance table at Staples. 50 cents each. I think a small wet spot formed on my underwear at that moment.
