As some of you already know I have been using coupons to save a ton of money at the grocery store.  Seriously I have cut my grocery costs in half just by learning how to shop using coupons.  Some of the best coupons out there are the printable ones that I find online.  I do not mind the time it takes to find, print, and cut out these coupons.  One thing that I started to notice in printing these coupons is that I am going through ink a little faster than I normally would. 

I started thinking that maybe this was not really saving me money if I was spending more on ink.  Then I found out about a site that lets you know about all the best ink prices out there.  They even let you know about any coupon codes to make the prices even better.  They have eveything listed from discount laser toner for HP LaserJets to remanufactured cartridges.  I have a Lexmark all in one that uses some pretty expensive ink.  So any help I can get in the cost area is welcomed by me. 

Another thing that I have done is look into all the different ways to make my ink stretch further.  Since I am not going to give up the coupons I just need to come up with new ways to save my money in the ink department.  Here's an article called Seven Tips for Saving Ink that I found to be very helpful. 

So how do you make your ink stretch?  I would love to hear any ideas you have.
