I prefer to think of you as my partner in cheapness! ;)
 
Only 750 per pack vs. 3000. I've used Maco a few times. They are decent and work fine. I prefer Avery though if I can get a good deal on them - I watch for good sales. If in a rush though, I will go with the cheaper substitute.

As cheap as $9.95 for 3000?
 
Hey Carolyn,

Do you have a BJ's near you? Thats where I buy my labels and page protectors. I think the labels are either 9.95 or 11.95 for 3000 of them and I like them as much as the Avery.:p

Yeah but we don't have a membership. We belong to Costco but they were $15.99 for 3000 there. I think I am better off so fat ordering them from Janet's website - I'll order like 9000 at once and save on shipping.
 
How do you know what kind of labels you need to buy? I was just thinking abou this today. I need to get some that I can print from my printer. I can't even figure out how to do address labels on my computer let alone print them.
