How many would you buy? Of course, I am asking for a friend. lol. Our Pat Catans are going out of business and their cardstock prices are crazy cheap. I or my friend, bought a ton of black cardstock!!! Now I am tempted to go back and pick up more neutral colors.....

If I could find white, I'd buy an absolute ton of it!
Sorry they're going out of business, but glad you found such a great sale!

Sounds like a wise purchase to me. I'm sure I wouldn't limit it to black though...

All of it, LOL.
I would buy a bunch of all the colors I like. I have certain colors I use more often, like red and navy, in addition to black and white.

I would probably buy 100 in white. I only use white cardstock so I would totally stock up!

I would buy all the black, white, kraft, and red they had plus some of the other colors too for that price.

I’ve been known to drop $20 on cardstock in one shot. Lol

Which Pat Catans? Before they brought out two more aisles of it, I had bought all the white at the Pleasant Hills store. When they brought out more, I bought a lot of black, gray and brown. Then I got colors I know that I would use and some that were maybes. I really only left without lime green and neon colors! LOL

I am going to assume black & white would be the first to go and it's easy enough to get. But if I could find a good shade of navy cardstock...I'd scoop it up. I can't always tell the true color online.

tons and tons of it. whatever i don't use, i could donate but i want to have as much on hand a possible. HOWEVER, if it's cheap and flimsy cardstock, i may dial it back a bit. but if it was Bazzill, i would buy up everything i could get my hands on.

All!
Seriously, 100 sheets each: white, black, kraft, navy, red, hunter green....
And any color I loved.

My friend thanks you for the validation. I was at the store in Monroeville, there were a few unopened boxes of the black cardstock, and a limited amount of other colors. I was surprised that there was so much black left. It never goes out of style!

Black would be my favorite as you can use for tons of things.. White would be next but I never use white.. so weird... I use it for other things but rarely for a full page 12x12 layout. I would get 50 or 100 of each color if possible!! What a great find.

I or my friend, bought a ton of black cardstock!!! Now I am tempted to go back and pick up more neutral colors..... ooh, your 'friend' is asking the wrong person, because I used to go to the Bazzill warehouse sale (<sigh>) and buy an entire PIZZA box stuffed FULL of textured cardstock, to have, 'just in case' I wanted it. If I could buy paper for only 2 cents per sheet, and it was decent-weight cardstock? I'd probably buy a LOT, in a LOT of different colors. (I make cards, but I mostly make 2-pg layouts, and I typically still use cardstock as the base of my layouts, for cutting with my Big Shot, Silhouette, etc. I also want to branch out into making my own mini-albums, so having a LOT of cardstock would be great.) and where is this, by the way? I have a 'friend' who wants to know... lol!! I would buy black, white, any shade of ivory, gray, and every shade of blue / green / terra cotta / brown I could find. (white and ivory you can color with inks, to make any color you want, too!)

All the black. All the white, all the kraft, cream and navy.
I would buy bunches of other colors too, but absolutely all the staples.
Solid card-stock doesn’t go bad, expire or go out of style.

Post by joblackford on Jun 11, 2019 23:30:55 GMT
At that price I'd probably buy it all and donate what I couldn't use to the local school. At the very least I'd buy every color I liked.

I would get black, white, red, and every shade of blue between crayola blue and navy. Then I check out the purples and get the brighter darker purples (if that makes sense—not the lilac and lavender shades.) Then maybe some other basic colors like green, yellow, and orange. I’d probably leave all of the pinks behind. Brown and cream too since I don’t use those as much. Oh, and I’d leave the pastels.

Personally, black, white, Kraft, cream, navy, Christmas red in bulk
Green, yellow, pinks, Browns in small amounts
I have oodles and oodles on Bazzill, and to be fair, stored out of sunlight, the colour has faded around the edges - so nurse them cut down or for mats only - disappointing, but I learnt not to ever have too much of the colours I don't use often

White, navy, gray, kraft, dark brown, and black. Those I’d buy as much as I could. Oh, and I get a few sheets of a true red if they had it.
Sorry Your store is going out of business.

All of it. Except for lilac. I hate lilac, and I hate everything I make with lilac. (Card orders, not anything for myself. Do we have a spitting emoji?!)

I would buy a stack! It's good you saw it before buying. I thought I was getting a good deal online like that one time. I didn't pay attention to the weight. The cream colored "cardstock" was slightly heavier than regular paper.

I took one more final trip to Pats. 4 packs of brown and various shades of green. Some BoBunny papers were ringing up for a penny, others (chevron/dots) were 14 cents.
I also wandered into the jewelry section and bought some "embellishments". My retirement room (ie, scraproom) is FULL!

(even though I'm sorry your store is closing...) but just to see a piece of paper ring up for ONE penny? that would be worth a picture. lol. (yesterday I calculated how much $40 worth of 2 cent cardstock is: 2000 sheets. It *sounds* like a big number, but I bet I have lots more paper than that in my scraproom already.)
