Sales & Pricing

Prices to Watch

  • Costco: $27.99 for a box of 10 reams ($2.80/ream)
  • Office Depot SALE: $25.99 for Hammermill Copy Plus Paper, 20lb, brightness 92 - a box of 10 reams ($2.60/ream); max 5 and free shipping plus tax.
  • Office Depot Cyber Monday Sale 2015: $24.99 for Boise X-9 Copy Paper, 20lb, brightness 92 - box of 10 reams ($2.50/ream); max 5 and free shipping plus tax.


Warnings

  • Always look at the per-ream price. Office Depot had a wonderful-looking sale for a box at $22. There were only 8 reams in the box.
  • Always make sure a ream is 500 pages. Walmart sells 400 page reams.
  • Staples had a wonderful looking sale - $14.99 on up to two cases of Staples-Brand Multipurpose paper, 20lb, 92 brightness. However it was via a $39 visa gift card REBATE. It was $53.99+tax up front. If I could trust myself to do the rebate it would have been worth it, but unless it's an instant rebate, it's not worth doing.
  • Quill very occasionally has good looking sales. When you look closer it's $24.99 on a max of 3 boxes of paper and only if you spend more than $199. "Only $24.99 (Letter Size) when you spend $199 or more. Spend less than $199 or need more than 3 cartons, additional cartons will be priced $39.99. (Quantity limit 3)"
