If you print a lot of coupons as I do, you have probably found yourself in need of printer ink and paper more often than before.
I had to think about this one day while I was heading out to my local office supply store. Is printing coupons really worth the money you end up spending to replace ink and paper?
I know for a fact that I am buying more paper and replacing ink cartridges more than I did before I began using printable coupons. But I also know that I have been able to cut my grocery budget down to a third of what it used to be!
So the coupons are here to stay!
Here are some tips to make printing so many coupons more frugal .
Here are my frugal printing tips:
- Find a great place to pick up ink for a very low price. When I did some research, I found that I could buy the same ink online at a discount ink shop for much less money than I was spending at my local office supply chain store.
- Buy paper in bulk. I always look for a good deal online . But I have been able to find some good deals at my office supply chain store when I buy a large case of paper.
- Use all of the paper. Sometimes a coupon will print on a piece of paper and only use the over top of the paper leaving over half a sheet left. I save these extra papers to use for making lists or scrap paper around the house.
These are just a few of the things I do to make the most out of printing my coupons!
