Very good rubber bands but pricey

These are quality rubber bands that you offer but you pay for that quality. I appreciate and am grateful for the many uses of this product but some might be turned off by the higher price. I believe that true quality is never cheap so I say keep up the good work and your products will continue to sell.
After searching for a band that stretches we ventured into Staples. Our previous experiences with iron bands that weren't stretchy and remarkably brittle wooden bands with splinters and a wedding band that requires at least annual maintenance through expensive vacations we discovered the rubber band. I had heard rumors of the rubber band and thought it was a cover band of Beatle's songs from the "Rubber Soul' album. But no they actually make bands from this plant sap. A wonderful invention these flexible and stretchy bands. Not only can you use these to hold shoe boxes and other boxes closed you can use them to hold stacks of paper together and even create office distraction because of their aerodynamic nature. I highly recommend rubber bands to people who need bands. I don't recommend seeking out rubber bands on ewetube or small letter Tunes. The rubber bands here on Staples are much more useful and in a pinch can make music of their own.
My daughter and her youth group use these to write their Bible memory verses on and wear them as bracelets. They see them constantly throughout the day and make it easier to memorize everything including information for tests at school.
These were the Staples brand of rubber bands. They looked just as good as the "other" brand that were several dollars more. These rubber bands will due nicely for keeping things together for a long time. There were more than I needed but heck the price was right. They came in a zip lock bag that is always a handy feature. The bands won't go flying around in the drawer and get caught going somewhere they shouldn't be. Even the cat cannot get to them. I will buy the Staples brand again when it comes time to buy again. Or better yet buy another size should the need arise. We like Staples for all the variety of goods they have.
I use for many things; bundle credit cards address cards name cards pencils and pens. It has so many varied uses that it is hard to write about all of them. I use it sometimes for a bookmark use it when I put an extra checks in my checkbook. Also use it for markers in my ancestry work. Again I can't rememeber all the uses I use the rubber bands for. Just keep them on the shelf.
