Buy it when the price is right. Depending on the offer it is free or 1¢ after the rebate. You have to wait several weeks for the rebate check. Why? The rebate process is online. Shouldn't you get it within a week? Your price is actually the sales tax. Unlike other cheap paper I have purchased it doesn't stick to itself when feeding into a printer. This seems like a small thing unless you have ever had to deal with it. It means wasted time wasted ink and wasted paper. That's when bargain paper is no bargain.
