Screaming Deal On Printer Ink

If you do a lot of printing for your little side business, Office Max has the best thing going. We use HP ink. Office Max usually has some sort of deal going on. A couple of weeks ago they had a $20 coupon off of $50 worth of ink and a full rebate on a whole BOX of copy paper which shows up on the Max Perks Rewards for future purchases. So that was a savings of $62 total.

You have to sign up for Max Perks which you can do right at the store or on the website. Then use your card on each purchase, just like the cards at the grocery store. It's pretty simple. We have already brought in a Max Perks Rewards rebate amount of $90 to spend in the store. That's basically $90 of free money for more ink.

Here's the other great deal. Bring in your used up ink cartridges to recycle and get $3 per cartridge back on your membership rewards. You can bring back up to 20 per month and get paid for them. After 20 you don't get the $3. I just brought in 8 used cartridges which will get me $24 on my Rewards.

The rewards total up over the course of a quarter and then you print them and bring them into the store and shop.

The Iceman

Not to state the obvious, but ice is pretty freakin cheap to make. If you have an ice maker in your refrigerator it is even more easy than cheap. So get the same bags that they typically sell ice in and shove some ice in it. Keep a few bags of ice in your freezer. Get the word out. Put a sign in your yard. Sell ice.

If your refrigerator ice has any taste to it get your lines cleaned.
