Got this pack for a great deal on sale and with a coupon! Who can't use white copy paper? My kids go through this as fast as I do and I find the quality to be just fine for what we use it for; recipes articles coupons directions (rarely anymore) when the kids want to color or when we just need to jot down some notes. It may not be "resume" quality but it was a great value for what we use it for.
I get this paper all the time as does my neighbor. The paper rarely jams in my printers and I have no problem with smearing either. When I manage to get the paper with a coupon AND a rebate and end up paying only a penny or nothing at all you can't beat it.
I am a significant user of paper especially for essentially a on man office. I have routinely bought one or two reams at the bonus deals Staples offers at noticeable savings. This deal is not too much better - if at all - than several of the one or two ream offers' rebabtes. However the opporunity to be ahead of the need to keep returning to the Staples store (at my age I am not into online ordering whenever there is a direct in-store choice) is a major advantage at a cost of about $2.00 for gas for a single trip. With this offer I do - overall - save money even if the one or two ream offers are a little less - the extra trips are the secret I do miss the cardboard box you used to use for these 5 ream sets of paper - they kept the last 4 reams better and had a future use for storage etc. The 10 ream offer might be better but I can't carry the darn thing from my car to my office. Same problem if they are shipped to me - I still have to carry them from the postal station in our complex to my office.
Staples paper is a good quality paper and a good value especially when you can pick it up on sale or with a rebate as I did. A good way to stock up so you don't run out and I don't see a need to spend more.
