I just visited the Xpdex in our area and found some great deals. I purchased some A-2 envelopes that they has on clearance for $1 for 50 of them, I also purchased a box of 250 Neenah A-6 envelopes for $3. They also had some paper and cardstock in their clearance area too. The manager was really nice and special ordered some clear cellophane A-2 envelopes that came out to 5 cents a piece. If you have an Xpdex in your area, it might be worth taking a trip. BTW, they carry the Neenah line of cardstock and had the white cardstock in 85lb and 110lb at reasonable prices, they even gave me some sheets to try out at home before I decide to purchase it!
Ditto on the comments about Xpedx; I found one of these not far from my house! They sell paper both by the sheet and by the ream. They have a section of cards and accessories; But they sell the Neenah paper solar white, classic crest super smooth which is highly recommended for copic markers.
Also they had a clearance table full of good bargains. The men in there were very knowlegable, I was able to tell them what I wanted and he took me right to it.
I love Xpedex! Haven't been there in ages, but love them!

I forgot all about Xpedex. I used to go to one near me but they changed their hours and it is not convenient. Excellent selection of paper and envelopes but not-very-good service. Once when I went on a Saturday, the door said open until noon. At 11:30 an employee greeted me at the door and said I couldn't shop today -- he had just washed the floors. hmmm

They are a paper supply store. They carry reams of different types of papers, envelopes, invitations, and that sort of stuff. They are usually way cheaper than Office Supply stores or specialty stores on paper products. I've also purchased gift boxes from them at reasonable prices.

Wow! That is bad customer service. I've always had a good experience, but that probably varies from place to place and employee to employee. You can also order online from them, too, I believe.

Thanks for telling me what type of store it is. I did search for one near me and the closest one is about 3 hours away. I definitely check it out if one comes near me.
Leslie R thanks for the reminder about Xpedex. I have not been there in years. Holley thanks for the Neenah paper info stampers use with Copics. I kind of had forgotten about the ability to buy a few sheets there and come home and sample and see which papers I like. I really like some of the other high quality white cardstocks (brands will go unnamed) but I am looking for something I like and is the most economical way to go.
Never heard of it either. Your link made it so easy, javagirl984; there's one near the homeless shelter where I volunteer. I'll check it out next week while I'm down that way. Thanks for sharing, OP.
