"Oh man, remember when Staples was paying US to take their cases of paper? I made a whole fort out of cases of paper from Staples! Dang, I wish I'd bought more of it when I had a chance."
With that out of the way:
When the Staples loss-leaders disappeared and I finally used up all the reams I'd stockpiled, I needed to find the next best option. My local (Seattle) Costco sells "Natural Choice" multi-purpose paper for $39.99 every day (it has been creeping up...I think it was $27.99 when the Staples deals ended). I understand that "multi-purpose paper" can have widely varying quality. This "Natural Choice" paper doesn't mention its brightness anywhere on the package or the website. It does say that it's 20 lb paper, that it's 99.99% jam-free, that it's high opacity, and that it's made in-state (Longview, WA) using a process that gets twice as much paper from each tree, uses 47% less water, no chlorine, etc, etc.
If I can grab this any day from Costco (or even have it delivered), is there some reason for me to reach for the Hammermill deal instead? I know that name-brand laundry detergent and motor oil and dish soap and other products are often worth the higher price because they work better than no-name products, so is there something (other than the $1 price difference) that should encourage me to get the Hammermill? I do remember that Staples would run deals on "copy paper" and "multi-purpose paper" in both "Staples" brand and Hammermill, and I remember that some of the paper was brighter or seemed higher-quality.
For my use (printing out two-sided homework packets on a laser printer), the Natural Choice paper actually seems pretty decent. I haven't had any issues with jamming and it's plenty opaque. One minor oddity is that the apparent brightness of the sheets can vary a bit within the ream). Is the Hammermill more "premium" than the Natural Choice paper?

With discounts and everything else, I managed to get a box for $5 average price.
The problem was I had to buy like 20 boxes to get that price and paper is heavy.
I'm still finding boxes of paper I put in places and forgot about.
