I found this to be an exceptional $$ deal on paper for my needs. In fact it surpassed my needs and thus I was able to share a portion of the five reams with others. I gave one ream to my daughter-in-law for Mother's Day - she prints more than I do. I gave two other reams to volunteers with a non-profit organization that I provide technical support to in the form of website design and on-going support applying updates to the HTML 5 code. Thus the five reams of paper met more of my requirements than just the need for printing paper.
