The cheapest place to get hanging file folders

The trick to finding the cheapest hanging file folders is to go onto froogle.com or shopping.yahoo.com. Now don’t just go searching for “hanging file folders.” OH NO! That won’t get you the best deal.

Instead do a search for: 14115 files

14115 is the supa-geek office term for those green hanging files.

I found a place that sells them for $5.17 per 25. Compare that to Staples/Office Max-Depot for $12.49 per 25. Hahah! Score!

I bought 10 boxes worth, let’s do a breakout comparison:

Super cheap file place:

–$5.17: per box (each box has 25 folders)

–$51.70: 10 boxes

–$0.00: tax

–$20.20: shipping

—$71.90 total

–$125.00: 10 boxes

–$12.50: tax

So it’s saves you $64.00 to wait a few extra days to get them in the mail.
