Alaska - ALL CITIES
As frugal mamas, we all want to minimize our tagging costs and maximize our profits, right??? Last week, I spent the morning comparing cardstock prices around town (Greensboro, NC).
Tip #1 Know Your Paper Weights
- Standard Cardstock65lb weight – slightly thinner, but sturdy enough for tags
- Premium Cardstock – 110lb weight – thicker and a little harder to drive those safety pins through, but very strong
- DO NOT USE – Standard Paper – 20-30lb weight – this is TOO thin for tagging
So, who has the cheapest cardstock?
