Just in case you don't check the Altered category, thought I would post this here too.
I did some very quick math and I am not very good at math, so if I have miscalculated, someone please correct me:
3M Gold Tape
1/4" x 36 yards (or 108 feet)
1 to 11 rolls are $2.71 per roll
Sprapbook Adhesives EZ Runner
1/2" x 28 feet (or 9.3 yards)
1 roll is $4.85
In order to purchase the same amount of EZ Runner as in one roll of 3M, you would need to purchase 3.87 rolls @ $4.85 per roll for a total of $18.76.
So we have $2.71 vs. $18.76.
You certainly can get adhesive cheaper using a coupon or on sale, so even with a 40% off coupon on which you can generally use only on one item you would save approx. $1.94 per roll, making it about $2.91 per roll. However, remember, you would still need 3.87 rolls of EZ runner to equal the amount in one roll of 3M, which would still be $11.26 and you would need 3 coupons or wait for it to go on sale to get it at that price.

Bonnie - 36 yards is 108 feet. ;P
Okay - see I told you I couldn't do math! Thanks for correcting me!
The other figures are off a penny or two because I miscalculated, however, it is still a substantial savings.

I was just looking at the site - if I'm reading it correctly, you have to order the extra parts to use the 1/4 inch tape. But then when I page down, I see there is a brand new ATG 714 gun specifically made for the 1/4 inch tape. But I am assuming that is the only width tape you can use in that new "gun"/dispenser.
Am I reading that correctly?

ok found where you are looking.
Yes I think you're right on that. I think most of the tape dispensers in SB are only the 1/4th aren't they?

if you're looking at 3M tape despensing guns make sure you're getting the gold tape, it's acid free.
