This seems like such a silly question--when I was in school we just picked it up or wherever we were getting our school supplies at the beginning of the year. But I have looked and the only place I have seen CLEAR stuff is online at Amazon for more than I want to pay.

I MUST be missing it when I shop. Where do you buy yours?

I've seen it at Walmart and Staples. I have found that I prefer Contact brand laminating film. It's the same as Contact paper, but the finish isn't hazy, it's clear and bright. It applies in the same way as regular contact paper. Thought I'd mention it in case you saw it in the store so you'd know!

hmmm we are pretty limited here.. but the places I'd find any contact paper at all would be Rite Aid and maybe the Home and Ranch supply store and maybe the small general merchandise store. The places you can find cheap household supplies like towels and brooms and pans and utensils and small appliances and such.. a larger selection than the grocery store but not really a better selection if you know what I mean.

When I've found it at Walmart it has been in the same section as regular contact paper and shelf liner....usually in housewares, near kitchen supplies like dish drainers and drawer organizers, I think. You can easily recognize it....it's the only roll that has blue lettered instructions showing through.

I love to cover books with clear Contact paper and never knew about laminating film! Thanks Jennifer!

Hardware store - same section as regular contact paper and shelf liner - that's where I've gotten it for years upon years.
