Paper saver
As writers we all deal with stacks of paper, but a ready source of re-useable scrap comes from circulars, letters etc. Check they don’t contain sensitive information and discard any obviously damaged sheets. Flatten out the rest and put them in your in tray. I work a double system. Scrap paper on top (making it the default) and pristine underneath. I just pull off the scrap pile when I need a clean blank page. If the papers have been stapled I remove it, fan them and alternate the pages by 180 degrees so they don’t stick. Warning: If your printer is a sensitive wee beastie that’s prone to jamming then it may not be worth it, but you’ll save yourself reams over time.
