Well, a little of both, sometimes I buy 2 of the same paper pad, one to cut and one to save. I love paper pads!
I also do the same with paper kits.
I used to get all the Micheals paper pads all the time because they had very good sales where I would pay less than $5 for each, but the prices now are a lot higher. I’ve only bought 5 paper pads this month I paid $10.20 for each, but I got $15 back in rewards.
