Legal Paper at Sams Club

I paid 37.28 at Sams Club today for a case of 8 packs of legal paper that makes it like 4.65 a ream!

That's kinda, sorta, normal at Sam's, at least in Huntsville, AL.

They went from 5 to 8. It is the cheapest I can find close by. Office Depot is 11.99 a ream. Ouch.

Office Depot is having a buy one get one 1/2 off

sale and if you have the EC Purchasing discount you get legal for 3.80/ream and letter for 2.62/ream. Nice!

Re: When did a case of paper go from 10 reams to 8 reams?

A case went from 10 reams to 8 reams (at least in a specific situation) whenever some company put 8 reams into a box that was made to hold that many reams, and called it a case. Of course, most cases still have 10 reams, perhaps by tradition, but not by definition. I've seen cases with 5, 8, and 10 reams, respectively. Whenever I see an advertisement for paper, I try to first look at how many REAMS are included, no matter what the final exterior container is called. I've almost made a wasted trip or two to the supply store, to take advantage of a great price per ream, only to realize that the max purchase could be for only one or two reams, not worth the trip.
