How often do you buy paper for your printer?

I used to trade in an empty ink cartridge at Office Max for a free ream of paper. There was only one problem. The paper would jam in my printer. I started buying paper.

Then I discovered that Harris Teeter sold printer paper that was really nice. They put it on sale 2/1 some weeks. That's when I stock up on printer paper.

Harris Teeter's printer paper is less expensive than the printer paper sold at Rite-Aid.

I still recycle empty ink cartridges. I send them to PetSmart's Pet Charities and they help to support homeless animals. I like the fact that my empty cartridges are not going to a landfill plus they are helping stray animals.

Oh & if you take in empty cartridges to Staples you get instore $$$ plus the cartridges help reading programs. In my book recycling cartridges at either Staples or through PetSmart is a good thing.

 I buy a case of paper every 3-4 months.

Only use a couple of packs a year or so.  I got two from Staples for a penney each (if the rebate comes through as promised) when they had the special a couple of weeks ago, so I'm set for awhile.  The timing was perfect, too, because I only had about 20 sheets left.

I use about 2 boxes of paper a year .

We go through several packs of paper a month. My husband uses paper for work and I print things for schooling.

I don't recycyle the cartridges but we do have them refilled with ink instead of buying new ones each time.

  We stocked up when you could get free paper for turning in a cartridge .. so very seldom.  We do use a lot of scrap paper for printing, tho.

We use 1-2 reams per year. We get it at Wal-Mart and it is good quality.
