Hi all, we are going to begin homeschooling our daughter (kinder) in the fall....have been unofficially/casually doing it all along, of course. She's the oldest of five, and I am trying to be as frugal as possible, from the get-go. My question is...does anyone have ideas for getting good deals on copier paper? white or colored? what about cardstock? I see us using A LOT of these papers, especially since I want to use a lot of free printables online, as well as make copies of workbook pages, etc., to avoid buying multiple books.

Thanks!

you know I just watch staples for sales, every few months they have really good ones so I stock up. Card stock I get from the craft store either with the 40% off coupon or on sale. Either way with 5 you are going to be printing alot! A better question would be how to find a good deal on ink! I go through so much ink!

Oh no! I forgot about the ink! HaHaHa

Actually, I just saw a sale in the Staples ad for this week and plan to buy a case of paper. Hmmm, maybe I should make it two.

yeah, ink is a killer! It's actually cheaper to buy duplicates of the cheaper materials than to print my own. After you factor in time in copying, ink, paper. I have a thing, if it's more than $8 each then I copy it, if it's cheaper I buy multiple. I have three though, you have five so that might not work for you! I'm sure you'll figure out something!

Inkforcheap.com by FAR has the best deal on ink cartridges, and a flat $2.99 shipping charge!
