I buy a package of papers often and at the same store, Super Jr. on Nailor Road in Vicksburg. I consistently pay almost $3 for a package of 5 to 7 papers. It says there are 24 in a pack, but that has not been my experience. The last 3 packs I've bought have had no less than 5 but no more than 7, I do not know why but I am of a mind to change brands...this one isn't working. Also, I may change the store I do business with. In today's economy we must make sure we get our monies worth or don't buy it. I have enjoyed this brand for many years but I am willing to change if this is the way your customers are going to be treated.
