Remember how these used to be FAR like a decade ago?

I still have four cases sitting against my wall, I think I go through a ream a year.

Yeah yeah I know I'm old. Now get off my lawn LMAO
I had an email with an extra $10 off code, so this was $29. Great deal.
When can I get a Dunder Mifflin ream on sale?

Yup! lol Unfortunately for me, my water heater went kaput and soaked my box. I kept them off the ground for a reason, but now I'm back to looking for paper deals. 😣

That's great! Less hassle than dealing with individual buyers. I also have some pastel paper still. Only used several pages for a kid craft lol

ACtually an idea for those who are buying op deal, just post somewhere like Craigslist say paper wanted, then you probably get a better deal

Quote from Danzilla :
At first it was CL, but after a doing it a number of times I was familiar with a couple small businesses that loved to gobble paper and I would just contact them every 6 months or so when I had 'too much'.

Quote from snoutmeat :
Nobody can bring up a paper deal without someone reminiscing about the "Good Old Days" . I'll be that guy:
"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?
I still have about 90 cases left that they paid me to take away. I should sell a bunch off as my printing needs have greatly diminished. I bet I could make another hefty profit in 2024. LMAO

Quote from AmusedMeal841 :
I still have boxes of Staples paper from 20 years ago.

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.

Question for you: Did the paper get brittle or yellow at all over this long time period, compared to a brand new box? Or is this only a problem once you take paper out of the ream where it gets exposed to direct or indirect sunlight?

As long as you kept it in a dry, humidity controlled, and animal free (no mice/rats/cats/etc) environment, paper should be fine. I kept my reams in the basement with a dehumidifier. I'm on my last ream and they have all been fine.

This was tempting, but checked my old stock from the good old days (literally 1cent) per box (5000 sheet) with free shipping and still have 16 reams

The paper itself is still fine. An opened pack from the box had the corners and top page covered in dust and did turn a tad yellow but it's not noticeable per single sheet.

I have thrown out packs of paper because I have a lot of it still. I kept boxes in closets, in the basement and out in the garage and they are all still fine.

I'm sure if you store them in a damp environment where water can get into them then they would get ruined but mine are stored in a climate controlled dry area.
