For the past few years I have been buying my Braille paper from a local 
office supply paper company.  Although I haven't checked the prices of 
Braille paper recently, I recall when I began doing this that it saved 
me a lot of money.  I paid $4.25 this week for a ream of 250 sheets.  
This is the 8 and a half by eleven size and is the weight of the heavy 
white Braille paper.  It isn't punched, however, but I've had it 
punched by a print shop for a little more.  I happen to have my own 
three hole punch at home so that saves even more.  Perhaps this is 
really only a savings of two or three dollars off the A P H  price for 
500 sheets but at least I don't have to wait several weeks to get it.  
Additionally, if I by ten packages at one time the price drops to only 
$3.70 per ream of 250 sheets.  You might be able to duplicate these 
prices by just taking a sheet of the Braille paper you currently use to 
a local office supplier and show them what you need.  If I used a 
lighter weight paper, it would probably even be less expensive.
Phil.
