The case of paper I purchased had a great rebate that made the paper's price extremely attractive. Since I use the paper routinely I purchased it to get the great price even though I wasn't going to need it for several months. Its worth watching for the rebates to buy things at the best prices as long as you'll use them in the future anyway.
i got this ream with a coupon from staples. i usually get Hammermill paper but thought i would try staples brand since it is much cheaper. it is not a bad brand but it is much thinner than other brand i have used. i found that it jammed more often in my printer. so i ended up really using more paper to get a project done due to the multiple paper jams. i went back to my other brand.
I write every day so it's important to have good quality paper for my frequent printing whether its notes or reports to deliver to clients. My wife also depends on paper in her work because she is always printing out projects for the children she cares for every day. We have found that Staples Multipurpose Paper delivers reliable quality for a reasonable price. Case purchases become an incredible value when rebates are offered and even better when you can use your accumulated Staples Rewards to generate even greater savings.
