Staples constantly strives to offer deals on paper either by ream a mini-case or a full case. They offer many rebates of which some are instant and others you can do online and get a Visa Card with the amount on it. The rebates are actually sent back rather quick which was how I obtained the 5-ream case. They were running a deal too good to pass up so we purchased 2 of the 5-ream cases. I went online and entered the information which took all of about 3 minutes and then you are even given a way to track your rebate. After a couple weeks I received an email stating it had been sent and within s few days of the email my Visa Card was received. You have to really watch the deals and see what you are paying per unit as you do with all businesses but Staples even right now has this case on sale for $4.99 with a rebate. Considering the cheapest you can purchase a ream is usually $3.50 and up you get 5 for less than the cost of 2 reams individually. Check out the savings in the long run. You get your money back on rebates which if you can afford to spend the little extra upfront you can get a great deal in the end. I got mine when they costed $36 up front and my rebate was $34 in return. Not bad for 10 reams total!!
