Our newspaper always gave away the end rolls there usually is about 1000 feet on an end roll. They finally started charging $1 per end roll. A bargain. Just go to the reception desk and ask about purchasing end rolls.

I worked at a newspaper for 41 years and they will sell the end rolls for about $2/ea. There is a LOT of paper on those ... you just need to ask your local paper for them.

Me Too! Mine was 9.95 + tax here in WI. This is for a flat box of new white paper that can easily be cut to size and placed in a printer.

I bought package of 8.5 x 11 sheet tablets at Office Max. Don't remember what I paid, tho. I am sure you could find it cheaper on the internet.

I remember my dad getting a roll of the newsprint when I was little. it was great because my siblings and I could tear off a piece and trace out whole bodies to color! Entertainment was cheap then

Honchey ... I've seen Office Depot mentioned several times ... can you not get it at Staples? we can here! Though I continue to use regular printer paper for the PPing, and have had no problems

I work in a school. They quit using that paper with the double lines on it I used in kindergarten. They were going to give it to the kids or throw it out. Makes great paper piecing paper. I have seen it in the school supply aisle. I never look at the price. I'm not sure I will ever have to buy it again. I have a big pile of paper.

I remember my dad bringing it home too. I also remember going to the shop with him while he was setting type and playing with the lead bars.. LOL Can you imagine ? That would never be able to be done now with all the safety laws.. A 4yr old around all those machines? I learned to read upside down a backwards too before I went to school. I got in trouble all the time for turning my book upside down so I could read it. LOL
