    Laminator?

    Does anyone have a laminator? I am thinking about getting one. I use contact paper but it has kind of lost its charm. I dont need one for lots of things, but it doesnt seem to expensive if I dont go nuts. $41 for the machine and $10 for 50 sheets.

    I got mine at Walmart for about $25 and it works good! I love it. You could always do contact paper but it can be a pain.

        try amazon for one; they often have them for super, super cheap.

        I love mine, though I would use it more if I would stop procrastinating about buying more sheets for it... heh heh heh
        Hee hee! Look, I have a signature!

          But they are so worth it! Everything looks so shiny and pretty after getting laminated.

            I know! I love it! I just keep not getting the stupid sheets...i suppose I'll add that to my "things to buy with the tax refund" list.

                  I refuse to feel sorry for someone who actually gets a refund!

                    Check out Sam's Club for the laminator sheets. I got a big box (maybe 100 or so, I can't remember) for around $20.

                        I did NOT expect one at all! And I expected it to be minimal at best. We were really, really, really surprised.

                          Well I am really really scared this year but I did pay quarterly so maybe it won't be bad.

                            I bought mine at Costco for $15-$20....it is the Purple Cow brand... I love it! I have used it laminate sheets from preschool workbooks - it saves so much paper!

                              I LOVE my laminator! I get refill sheets at Costco. It makes things last a lot longer, like bulletin board stuff, game pieces, etc.
