You’ll blow the whole rebate three months from now on ink cartridges

I have spent my share of money on fancy printer, scanner, fax machines over the years and pretty much every one of them failed for some reason when I really needed to print, scan or fax.

The smartest thing I did is buy an Epson (ET-2060); it does not use cartridges, but bottles of ink (4); I had to buy a bottle of black ink after 2 years; color is still going strong!

There are other places you could print that bar code on, Cathy…they might work better than on your forehead.

I had one ink jet printer almost 20 years ago. When I realized how much I was spending on ink cartridges I quit using it and invested in a colour laser printer. It is still going strong. Yes the toner cartridges are expensive – about $400 every two years – but I do buy my paper by the case. If I was still using ink that would probably be $4000 every two years.

Thinking of lindz.coop today when I heard the ice storm warnings for her area. Hope she stays safe.Crazy January here – it was way above freezing yesterday. Colder and snowing today but I will take snow over freezing rain anytime.Hope everyone is having a great, safe weekend.

Is it just me, or is Cathy 100% on to something here? Her “bar code” line made me laugh, and her logic about Irving hit the nail on the head. Hypothetically, anyway. Good one today!

HI, MOM. Hello, “Cathy” Clan.

It might just work, Cathy!
