Don’t panic! I know a lot of you don’t like seeing the word ‘math’ in the title. Trust me, this is not a difficult post to follow.
I needed to stock up on some extra fine (220 grit) sandpaper. I don’t use a lot of it, but I always like to have a few sheets on hand. The handheld sander I use is known as a ‘Quarter-Sheet’ sander, so each sheet of paper will yield four sheets on the sander. I figured three sheets would be fine. It’s not the math I’m talking about, but we all realize that will give me 12 sheets for my sander.
At the hardware store, I found a bin of loose sheets, and a rack of multi-sheet packs. Usually, the multi-packs are a bargain. So much so, that I buy the fine (150 grit) paper in 50-sheet packs – I use a lot of that stuff. In any case, I always check to see.
As you can see in the images below, individual sheets were 49¢ ($0.49) and a 5-pack was $5.99.
Now there’s a bargain for people who don’t understand math.

All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
