Here are some tips to help you save money on multipurpose copy paper.
 - Buy by the box. If you can buy a case of paper (5000 sheets) versus a ream (500 sheets) you typically save 20-25% per page. For example, Staples mid range store brand paper sells for $5.98 by the ream, but if you buy it buy the case the per ream cost comes to $3.80 per ream, a savings of $2.18 per ream or 36%. If this is way more than you need maybe you could split a case with a friend. Also, the savings are so significant that it makes sense to stock up rather than having the money sit in a savings account
- Wait for it to go on sale at Staples or Office Depot. They typically mark down cases 10-15% from time to time.
- Buy the store brand paper, cases are typically a few bucks cheaper than Xerox, HammerMill, and other name brand paper. Some times office stores put the name brand paper on sale and it ends up being cheaper than the store brand.
- If your paper use can justify it buy multiple cases as the major store brands have price breaks at different volume levels. For example, Staples knocks off $5 per case on its store brand paper if you buy two or more cases. This saves you an additional 12.5% per sheet.
- If you buy from Staples and are purchasing multiple cases or other items that will bring your total purchase above $100 you can purchase $25 off $100 staples coupons on ebay to save an additional 25%.
All added up these strategies can save you up to 70% on your copy/printer paper.
