Cheaper but just as good

I use a lot of 3-hole punched typing paper because I am a playwright and screenwriter and have to print many scripts for producers directors and actors. What I really like about Staples paper which is mostly what I use is that it is usually less expensive than other brands and yet the paper is just as good if not better quality than any of the other brands such as the MULTI-PURPOSE that I sometimes use. Last time I was in Staples that brand was on sale but I would've had to send in for a rebate and I find that aggravating and so I settled on the Staples brand which is working nicely.
This product appears tp be the standard cheapest copy paper staples offers. Itvis exactly the same in weight and quality the only dofference being the holes. Yet the price is almost double that of the non hole variety. As a consumer you will never convince me that punching holes juatifiably double the price. Toe it seems staples identifies products more higly needed tjan others (file folder labels is another perfect expample) and jacks the price up because they believe deaperate cuatomers will pay it. Its price gouging amd it insults customers. I do not buy this product very often because of this.
I used to just print then get out the old fashioned hole puncher. Not only was it a pain to do but a it was also pain to pick up all the little holes that fell out. Then it dawned on me just buy paper that is already punched. It's much easier to just change out paper than to go through all the manual punching and pick up especially for larger projects. I always keep a couple packs on hand and am actually thinking of buying a new printer with two paper trays to I don't have to keep swapping out.
Being able to purchase paper that is already prepared for a 3 ring binder made my life easier at a time when I had limited time. The quality of the paper was very good and my project looked great.
