    Dear All, Like Sunshine, Gayla, & Jill, I only need 2 reams/year.  I  have found that it is cheaper generally to buy a ream froom a print shop (a mooom-&-pop one) rather than froom an office suppllies store.  Just ask, there's no harm if they say no or quote too high a price.  I pay $3 instead of $4 at a print shop, just did it a month ago.  Yours in Hiiim, Deb

    I sell online (my own website, Amazon, & eBay) and my inlaws have their own business.  So whenever I find a great deal I buy as many cases as it takes to get the best deal.  Then I split it with my inlaws.  That way we get the best deal.

    Pretty often, since we homeschool and I use a lot of printables off of the internet we go through paper pretty quickly.  I'd say a ream probably lasts us a little over a month, maybe a bit longer.  Right now is the time to stock up though, with all the back to school sales I've found good bargains on paper and other school stuff.  I stocked up big time on glue sticks, seriously I probably have 50 or so.  I think my kids must eat them for how fast we go through them!

    I use maybe a ream a month for a house of 3. I purchase it at Walmart however in my previous job as a manger I have alot of office supplies leftover so I have not had to purchase any in over a year. I also work a job  where I can make copies of things at work for free so I usually do that as well.

    I don't homeschool however I print things like menus/ recipes/ calendars/ lined paper/ graph paper.
