Paul can put a maximum of 2.5 pounds of seeds in each birdfeeder. Since he has five birdfeeders, the total amount of seeds he can put in the birdfeeders is 2.5 x 5 = <<2.5*5=12.5>>12.5 pounds.
Since birdseed costs $3.75 per pound, Paul can spend a maximum of 12.5 x $3.75 = $<<12.5*3.75=46.875>>46.875 on birdseed.
However, Paul only has $35 to spend, so the maximum amount he can put in each birdfeeder is $35 / 5 = $<<35/5=7>>7. Answer: \boxed{7}.
