So I just started my first home business and Im super excited!! Sorry if this is a dumb question though, I have zero clue where to look.
What I need:
- Under $30 for a case
- Basic 8.5x11 white paper
- Local store pick up by Friday
Which stores have the best discounts right now?

^ This. Also, density matters more than shelf price. I grabbed a bargain 75 GSM case last year to save $6, but high particulate dust tripped my printer feed sensors after 1,200 pages. Cleaning cycles completely ruined my cost-per-page ratio. Sticking to baseline 20lb 92-brightness specs keeps maintenance manageable. Btw, I just set an alert on PriceDropCatch for the desk I wanted and grabbed it for $50 less last week.

Like someone mentioned, cheap paper can give you headaches. Unfortunately, I had issues with bargain 88-brightness 75 GSM reams lately... way too much paper dust and terrible opacity that bleeds. If you need local pickup by Friday under $30:
- Office Depot Multi-Purpose 20lb (92 brightness, usually $29 on sale)
- Member's Mark 20lb case at Sam's Club ($29.98 right now) Always check paper spec sheets on manufacturer sites before buying!

Congrats on the startup! Be careful with ultra-cheap paper though, bad weight jams printers. I would suggest:
- Staples 20lb case (under $30 on sale)
- Target store pickup Check PriceDropCatch before buying!
