Having had 3 children of my own and having had a dayhome going on 16 1/2 years now, we go through tons of paper. Tons. I save a lot of money by going to my city's newspaper office where they print the local paper and buying their "end of the rolls" for next to nothing. There is always lots of paper left on the end of these rolls and they're great because you can size them for everything from small individual drawing sheets, to larger sheets to fit on easels for painting or making homemade wrapping paper to making birthday banners. Getting good paper cheap works for me.For more great tips and ideas and to link your own idea go to Rocks in My Dryer.

Ooo, I didn't even know you could do this. It's a GREAT idea! We go through a ton of paper here, too.
Okay, smart! My kids would run through the whole run in under a week, I'm telling you. They're nuts. Great tip!

Great idea!
As any mom of young kids know, we all do go through a lot of paper...add to that we're homeschooling, and it mulitiplies!

That is a great idea! I may have to use this idea to get paper for the youth at church!
That newspaper is great. I like how they can just get in the floor and draw forever. :>)
I know this, but I KEEP FORGETTING IT! Sheesh. I think I'll give them a call before I forget again!
I will need to do this. My neices and I have drawing time when they are at my house. I love to draw so maybe I could draw a picture on a big banner and let them color it in. Thanks for the idea!
Absolutely love this idea -- thanks!!!
Thanks for the tip and the future savings!
I'm sure lots of moms out here are going to appreciate this - what a great tip.
GREAT idea. I didn't know you could ask them for that! I'll definitely be checking that out...
I never in my wildest dreams would have thought of that. Thanks for sharing that idea!
Wow, never knew you could do this! Great idea that I could use!
We used to do this for posters when I lived in the dorms. I'm going to have to do this again. #1 Son would love to have paper like this to draw on.
