I bought 8.5 x 11 newsprint - 500 pieces to a ream - for 3.56 per ream at dickblick.com. I bought two reams and even with shipping included I will be set for most of the rest of my life with newsprint! This paper is my favorite for paper piecing. It goes throught he printer just fine, takes a print great and is easy to take off when done sewing.
