Re: Great paper deal (letter size only) - FWIW...

Everyone's situation (and printer) is different, of course, but last time I tried one of their paper deals, I vowed not to do it again, as I seemed to have a fair number of paper jams with that paper. I very rarely have that problem with the paper I buy at Costco (Georgia Pacific).

Plus, when the savings come in the form of awards points, that means I can only recoup my savings when it comes time to buy additional office supplies. I don't buy toner from them and their regular paper costs are too high to make that savings worth it for me. I don't buy a whole lot of other office supplies except binder clips, but I seem to get most of those costs covered by recycling my used toner cartridges. But like I said, everyone's situation is different.

I'm with you & usually get paper at Costco. I've picked up

some at Office Depot or Office Max when they run great deals, but only buy high-quality, multi-
purpose paper, never copy paper. There is a huge difference.
Both of these store issue checks for rewards, and you don't have to use them in the store.

Thanks for the info about getting checks for the rewards. I didn't realize that. It seems that the only major office supply stores left in my area are Staples - and I think there are 3 within a 6-mi radius. Go figure!
