We buy a lot of paper each year. Mead provides a good basic (cheap) paper that will no doubt meet the needs of most students. However, I find the paper to be thinner than expected which may be an issue for those who exert significant pressure when they write or those who rely on their trusty eraser to get them through the day. It's OK - nothing great - a good utilitarian option but for wide-ruled paper (for younger students) I think it really shouldn't be quite so thin.
Pricing Note (not part of the review):
The price as I write this review is $1.33 for 200 sheets of wide-ruled filler paper. That is the delivered price if you are an Amazon Prime member or combine with other products to get Super Saver Shipping. If the price is higher as you read this review you may want to consider coming back at the start of the next school season and stocking when they are on sale. Mead Wide-Ruled Filler Paper, 200 Sheets (15200)
I bought this and when it came in the plastic cover was open from the bottom. It seems like they just repackaged non-branded line paper and put it into a plastic bag with a Mead title cover. I would not recommend purchasing this product.
I am a home school mom of 2 boys. I don't have a car so I try to shop online. I thought this was a good deal-wrong! After about 20 pages the problems started. The lines on the paper were all messed up or not there at all, some pages were in halves and stuck together and to top it all off when I made my monthly trip to Walmart I found much more paper(almost double) for MUCH less. How sad.
Obviously I chose to buy this product at this price- orginally 6.47 Prime price 4.47. It was out of convenience/necessity but never again. The school supplies on Amazon, unlike many of Amazon's other amazing deals are a rip-off.
I'm not very picky with paper, as long as it's nice quality but Mead is no exception. Although Mead sells quality products, their looseleaf papers have always been a problem for me. The problem is that they have such a bad, cheap smell and the quality of the paper is very close to what I will find at a 99 cents store, minus the sandy texture. I've been buying Staples paper for as long as I can remember and I find that their quality is so much nicer (and cheaper!). I don't think I'll even spend more than $1 on Mead looseleaf, let alone $4.
most items i buy from amazon I feel like I don't need to check prices elsewhere and I wasn't paying much attention to the price when I ordered these and I can't believe I spent over $4 on a stack of paper!!!! Don't waste your time and money on this one.
I wasn't expecting much since I've read the reviews before purchasing that said the papers were thin. For my 5 year old just learning to write, it's good enough. However, for any other uses, I won't recommend.
This is a standard product at a good price. It is great to be able to get refills to your doorstep. The wide ruled paper helps my son write more easily and neatly due to the greater gap between his lines. - Filler Paper - School Supplies - Notebook - Paper'
