I'm having a really hard time finding paper that doesn't cost an arm and a leg! Where do those of you who use newsprint purchase it?

Second question: Copy paper is shown to usually be 20lb paper. I've seen newsprint described as 30lb paper, but I know it is much thinner than copy paper. So what do those numbers actually mean?

I use kids scrapbook paper the kraft color, they come in books of 8.5x11 just right for the printer and tears away nicely, not loosening the stitches.
