Target card gives you an extra 5% discount. Also download cartwheel. I live in Cali as well and I know how much it sucks for gas + being in college.

Also when I collected base set to the end of BW set (I split everything into era and used 3" binders) (WoTC, E-reader, EX, Platinum, HGSS, BW). Too bad you’re not looking for 3" Binders.
I would check out Office Depot/Office Max, I’ve bought all my binders there since grade school. They have various brands, but even their cheap house brand is decent quality. They offer discounts if you buy in bulk and a 20% discount if you sign up for their mailing list. (only con is having to pay for sales tax)
D ring is definitely the way to go, found that out the hard way.
Buy the binders late summer/early fall (BACK TO SCHOOL SALE!) just remembered
You get them right after the back to school season, because they have huge discounts to try and get rid of all the leftover stock. Some stuff is cheaper during the season rather than after, but binders are definitely an after kind of supply.
You can always buy/return within the return policy and repurchase at the new price. It’s frown upon, but it’s doable
You’re so sneaky Eric lol.
Not as sneaky as having my own SQUARE CUT NO STAGE BLASTOISE! (cut the card to square based and used an eraser on the 2) oh yeah… IT"S 1st edition!
I have a Target gift card I haven’t used from my B-Day, so I know where I’m going to get my 1st batch! Yeah! Everything feels so dang expensive! I’m used to midwest prices.
That’s the set up I currently have with my binders, but everything feels really squished/binders are REALLY showing wear.
I’m not sure if I have an Office Depot near me, I’ll have to check the 'ol Google maps. That would be pretty sweet if I could get to one. I have Staples right down the road, but the prices are way too high.
Yeah, I swear by D Ring. Round ring brings only sadness.
That’s a great idea, but I can be pretty impatient when it comes to storage upgrades. Waiting for that perfect Gold Star to appear on Ebay? No problem! Have a sudden urge to upgrade my storage? I’d go to Target and Walmart right now and buy a bunch if I had the time. (Thanks school.)
During the back to school shopping season, I’ll most likely be in the midwest, which could lead to some lower prices. Haven’t looked at the binders at Meijer in a long while. Don’t remember if they have Avery in stock/have better prices.
Yeah, I don’t wanna pull any funny business with the binders. I’m all for getting good deals, but not doing something kinda shady to do so.
I was at a “99cents only” store today and to my surprise they sell D ring binders!
The quality is nice, but I still find it funny that chain of stores is called that when they have items up to $30 now lol
