Office Supply Dicounts: Ink Cartridge, Toner, Ribbon, POS Paper...

so, being a student, i have to have a printer @ home. (we have two in fact.)
and my family running a restaurant operating with online business, we have to have a fax machine, and printers.

so here are my verdicts have much, much hunting around; after so many countless hours of discount hunting, here are the websites that offered the LOWEST PRICES

FOR:

• INK CARTRIDGES: go here. 
• POS paper rolls of all kinds: go here. 
• For Sales Draft slips (2-ply or 3-ply): go here.

**i do know that those discounts may not apply to all of you guys out there, so here, here, there, here, or there for a website that VERY CONVENIENTLY compares all of the prices for you**

things to keep in mind when shopping online for office supplies:

• what the ORIGINAL, AUTHENTIC price for it is--even if you only save a few dollars, you can still feel good about it.
• allow for SHIPPING prices--some places have rising rates with every item you add on, and other don't (it's the "the more you buy, the more you save" thinking) 
• how many you can buy: many, many places will offer you discounts for bulk buying (the more you buy the more you save) but you also have to keep in mind if shipping costs will rise, and storage--5,000 rolls of POS paper take up space!
• when you need it: allow for ~7 days for it to arrive (if you're using the lowest/free shipping rates) so if you need it in a rush, you would need to adjust. or just be smart, and shop when levels get low, but you can still manage a week before you have to completely stop operating b/c of lack of ink/paper/supplies)

**for HP printer/fax machine owners--HP offers REALLY cheap ink!! from what i've seen, HP inks online aren't THAT much cheaper--the best deal i've found is $15 when the original price is $20 for an authentic one from HP. (FREE shipping on ALL ink orders from HP, and they arrive pretty quickly) but i do have to say that there are cheapER inks out there: re-manufactured (aka "bootlegged"--it is legal/no name), or you can just buy AUTHENTIC inks just from an online retailer... it's only a few dollars off the original though... so the cheapest is ~$15 when you can buy the authentic FROM HP for $20 (both prices include shipping)**

**OFFICEmax membership is FREE and pays off every once in a while (most of the time their offers are bogus $15 off a $75 purchase--well, it's bogus in my point of view b/c we don't make such large bulk purchases, but maybe you do)--every few months or so, they offer $15 off a $30 purchase, which is their best memberships deal.

**OFFICEdepot memership is FREE; they offer 10% back (carries quarter to quarter, but expires yearly)

***because my scanner can only scan up to 8.5'' x 11'' paper, it could not fit the entire page all in one image.... sorry!
here's the legend:
**v stands for vocal sheet
**p stands for piano sheet--my scanner only scans up to a 8x11.5'' sheet of paper, and the song book was larger then that, so some pages had to be split between two images.
**a stands for "all", meaning both vocal and piano are on the page.

 

**the scanning quality isn't the best, but someone else w/ the proper softwear can make better piano sheets.
