Staples 8.5 " X 11" Copy Paper
on March 5, 2014
Posted by: Paula K.
This Staples copy paper works very well for all my office needs. I have not had any printer problems with it either. Buying a five ream case was a great bargain considering that it ended up practically being free because of the rebate promotion that Staples was running at the beginning of this year. I already received my Visa gift card in the mail for the balance. I can now use this gift card to purchase other office supplies or anything else that I need. So I only ended up having to pay the taxes. What a great deal!!
I find Staples paper to be as good as hammermill or other name brands. It's a pure white and reasonable weight. It seems (like everything else) to have increased in price since the last time I bought it but it's still a better deal than the name brands.
I love to buy this paper because it alows me to be creative. I use it to draw and color on with the little kids Do art projects on the paper by cutting out shapes and making snowflakes. The use of this paper is also used on a computer printer. I print my inportant letters to family members and also use to print my reciepts from when I pay bills online so I have a copy of what I have paid. One most important thing I do with this paper is print my grocery lists and go to many coupon sites and print my coupons for anything from food to resterants even print movie tickets but like I said I print alot of COUPONS!!!!
After locating the paper section of the store I identified the paper I was interested in but became confused amongst the multiple shelf rows of this paper all with the same SKU# but different pricing - $6.49 vs $5.99. An inquiry to a sales person to explain the difference was simply that there was a price change that overlooked changing all the pricings on the shelves and that the price should be the higher one ($6.49); oh really - the higher one? Makes one wonder why the $6.49 tags looked older and yellowed as opposed to the nice white ones with $5.99. As he proceeded to remove the $5.99 prices I commented that had I gone to the register I would have pointed out the error and should get the lower price; he agreed and said he would inform the register clerk at my checkout. In the interim I found this same paper promotionally stacked around the store with the $5.99 advertised price. I commented on that to the register clerk and her quick reply - "Oh well the price is wrong." OK - let me out of here.
