Multipurpose paper sale

I was not only disappointed but a bit upset with this deal. The ad read free with cupon. I showed the person at check out the cupon on my smart phone free with easy rebate then said it was ok for them to email my receipt . After I returned home the receipt had a rebate for $4.00 back on a $ 7.99 ream of paper this does not add up to free but $3.99. Then to make it better I clicked on the link for the EASY rebate on the receipt and the link came up with can't find this rebate!!!! Now it was just a 7.99 ream of paper not much of a deal there!!!! I have had a few disappointments with Staples and will most likely pick up my supplies at another store as it's hard to get all the great deals the ads show!!
This paper is good quality for the price. I buy this paper wheni it is on sale and use it to make notepads. There is a group of woman who put together Christmas gift boxes for children who live in poor countries and have many needs. I add the notepads in with the presents. It's amazing how grateful they are for even the small things like a notepad. This year alone i have made 425 and all of them are made from this paper. We put one in every box that we send and last year we sent 1045 boxes . Think of all those happy kids.
I write a monthly newsletter and have to distribute 36 copies this multi-purpose paper prints out my newsletter beautifully. It's not to light and not too heavy. I rate it perfect for my monthly use as well as letter writing or copying important docs and information from the web.
I haven't tried the paper yet but presumably it will be OK. I was rather annoyed however that the online Easy Rebate would not work. The system simply would not recognize the rebate number. (I tried over several days assuming it would eventually be fixed.) When I informed Staples through the Contact Us form the only advice was to submit the rebate via mail. That struck me as ridiculous.
