exceptional deal

This was an exceptional deal with the rebate. I was able to get two cases for under $5.00. My son is an aspiring writer and can use a full ream to print out a book for a friend to review.
Stopped in Staples the other day to purchase a couple items. I live quite a distance away so it is not always practical to drive the 7 miles for items I can get closer even if I have to pay a little more for them. So I had just purchased a ream of paper for over $4.00. This particular day I needed something I could only get at Staples so as I walked in I see the display 5 reams of bond paper for only $9.98. Less than $2.00 per ream What a deal. Since I use quite a bit of paper I grabbed one. I also alerted my daughter who operates a home base business and uses a lot of bond paper. Also alerted the secretary at my church and she took advantage of it. Great deal.
The paper is paper nothing much to say about it. Whenever they offer free paper I take advantage of it. With premier pricing the rebate actually exceeds the price paid.
I like the paper but it's a bit think for what I really like. The old "20 lb" paper seems to be more 16 lb and a bit thin. But maybe the old 20 lb was more than what it should have been. I bought this paper and it will be adequate for what I want but if I'm going to send copies out to people I guess I need something with more thickness. If you're looking for a cheap decent paper this is for you. If you're looking for a paper to send letters to the outside world I would either switch to a different company or go to a 24 lb paper to add a bit of heft to it.
I found this purchase very beneficial to buy in bulk method. In addition between the coupon and the rebate I received this product at a more than reasonable price. I will be returning to the store later today to make an additional purchase of this product. I am an MBA student and I print out many of my assignments therefore I go through plenty of paper and ink for my printer. I also just recently purchase my HP 3 in one printer copier fax machine. I also feel as thought I received a very fair deal on that product as well.
