What does everyone need? Ink! How is this a find you might ask? Well I found some important information that you should know.
I was getting ink at Office Max over winter break and was convinced to have my cartridges refilled. I was told it was so much cheaper. It did cost a lot less money, but the ink ran out ridiculously quickly. Actually, the first time I printed with it, my printer told me I was low on ink.
I thought I must have had a bad refill job. So, the next time I got ink, I spoke to someone who worked there. She told me that the refills don’t have as much ink. Apparently they have less than a third of a normal cartridge.
The same thing goes for the off brand inks. If you buy the generic versions they have about a third of the ink that the name brand ones do.
So, as much as it seems counter intuitive, you actually get the bigger bang for your buck by buying the good stuff.

I've had the same luck. Too bad most people have to learn that the hard way. How annoying! 🙁

I wonder if Costco has the same amount with the refills. I think I'll stick with the name brand to be sure. Thanks for following!
