cardstock

[mywarmbluefleece]

I know this is a bit of a minor thing to look for, but I am looking for the best deal on a pack of cardstock for copier paper. Preferably, it would be a multicolor bright pack, but anything else is okay, except maybe for white. This is for games in my classroom. Anyone know of a fantastic deal?

 

A 100 pack would be fine, but a 250 pack would be nice too.

if you do not need a particular color - try contacting your local printer and offering to buy the extras they have... usually they buy more than the need for a job, so in case of errors... anyway, they are often left with a mish-mash of colors - could be as cheap as free...

I don't know about fantastic, I usually buy it when I need it for the room and just get it at Walmart, but I'll start comparing and looking though. We have a Walmart card through the school for class supplies, so that's usually what I do :)

 

Sometimes Michael's will have some at 50% off that are pretty colors. I haven't been there in a while though. I used to go there before we were told about the Walmart card LOL

You could try Walmart--I buy it there, but I buy white. I do think they have the bright colors, but I can't remember for sure.

I needed card stock for my wedding invites. I went to our Xpedex store here in town that does discount paper. Got 200 sheets for under 30 bucks! I got the really heavy cardstock Do a google search- there is usually a warehouse close by

I was just at Staples buying yellow and white cardstock. They had multi color packs (125 & 250 sheets) for 12.99-$14.99. You can buy 2 packs of 250 (110lb. weight) for $29.98 and use a $10 off $25 Office Depot Coupon (many staples accept competitors coupons) to get 500 sheets for $19.98+tax

We get a ton of money for supplies but it can only be used on special ed. stuff. So I have all this fancy adapted stuff, and no cardstock!

I totally agree. This is NOT including Fed-Ex/Kinkos! This is like "Joe's Printing" or something similar. You may even be guided by your copier repair man. They usually know a local printer who may be willing to part with their extras, or be able to point you to a paper supply company where you can get it extra-cheap. MUCH cheaper than Wal-Mart/Office Max/etc.
