It’s odd how things pop up at just the right moment since a few hours ago I was discussing with my husband how we needed to get some cheap ink for one of the printers in our home.

Not All Cheap Ink Created Equal

What I love about finding the ideal spot to get cheap printer ink is the fact that it isn’t really “cheap ink” but printer ink at up to 92% off retail prices!

I don’t know about you, but one of our cartridges costs almost the price of a brand new printer. By finding a reliable online printer ink company that’s going to discount prices that much, it literally is ridiculous not to save money. Less money for office supplies means more money in our checking account (duh).

Up until now though I’ve never thought about getting my printer ink online. I know my sister does all the time and is delighted with the savings and the quality. Guess it’s time to listen up and learn a new lesson from my family member

Cheap Ink Shop By Brand

I counted 27 major brands listed at InkGrabber. In addition, they also have an “all other” category. So, for example, I will be able to get a six pack of HP inkjet cartridges for the price of two (at a local brick and mortar office supply store). Holy cow! That’s a deal!

And, you don’t have to buy “in bulk,” that choice is yours. But to me it just makes sense to stock up. What’s even better is I will now be able to ensure that my color cartridges don’t run out (I tend not to replace them very often and print in gray scale when I’d prefer color, but color until now just hasn’t been affordable or reasonable).

They even have a Monday through Friday toll free number if you have questions or (for some unknown reason because their supply is so large) you cannot find your particular brand.

With 100% price match guarantees and 1 year product quality guarantees, combined with tracking and more, put InkGrabber on your list of where to go to get your cheap ink today!

Back around Christmas (or “the holidays” if you prefer), I had the pleasure of telling you all about how to obtain scrubs online. Today, I have a second opportunity to remind you of the pleasures of scrubs not only for work but for play.

Getting Scrubs Online For Work or Play Is Easy

While you may love the idea of getting in the car or taking the bus or some form of public transportation to get your shopping done, for me, nothing beats the ease of finding the perfect selection of say green scrubs online. The internet may have been invented just for people like me in fact! Years ago I found it fun to shop. I also paid little regard to how much “stuff” one person could buy, although I always shopped wisely

However, nowadays, for the sake of the planet and the ease on your wallet, finding bargains online just seems like the way to go. Which brings me back to my reason for why shopping for a lab coat, nursing uniform, or scrubs online just makes sound financial sense.

BlueSkyScrubs Your Scrubs Online Resource

With the popularity of scrubs ranging from a television show of the same name, to wearing these clothing items (the bodies sitting on the couch watching said TV show?) when it comes to shopping for scrubs there’s just one place to go – BlueSkyScrubs! Check out their huge selection of styles and their great prices, you’re sure to be happy with your purchases.

Comfortable, practical and, for those in the medical professions a must, buying your scrubs online at BlueSkyScrubs is one of those no brainers!

If you, like me, wear corrective lens, then you know that it is a must that you also have a pair of prescription sunglasses, too.

More and more, information about eye damage due to the non-use, under-use, or improper use of sunglasses appears in the news. And, sunglasses are not just a summer thing; the winter glare of snow and ice make it a necessity to protect your eyes at all times when outside. This advices goes for children as well as adults (I’ve seen too many parents wearing their “shades” only to see their kids left defenseless).

Just one of many Zenni Optical choices

Zenni Optical makes it easy for you to get tinted glasses. In fact, their ordering process, and their prices, make it entirely affordable to have more than one pair. While retail eye shops charge an arm and a leg for UV this, and tinting that, Zenni does not have the overhead, and therefore, does not have to “mark up” your prescription sunglasses to make a profit. They also have a wide selection of frame styles (the photo is but one choice). I like the look of these, but I’ll be honest… I do go for more “side protection” and the best part is… they have those, too

You do need, of course, a prescription that includes “your pupillary distance” prior to ordering. This is not unusual by any means. But after your examination, you can stop right there, head home, and select any number of frame styles starting as low as $8 at Zenni’s.

I looked over their ordering process and found it, too, is super easy. You choose the frame(s), enter your prescription information (do make sure you enter this information correctly), add your purchase to the shopping cart (continue shopping if you want more than one pair), and when you’re ready, just check out.

As I said above, sunglasses are no longer a fashion accessory, they are a must. A recent visit to my own eye doctor confirms that statement. One of the things she asked me (told me really) was I must always wear sunglasses ANY time I was outside.

Protect your eyes, protect your children’s eyes, and protect your wallet. Check out Zenni Optical and see what’s available that “strikes your eye”.

I started the day doing an FBI news story that you really need to read, and then, strangely enough, saw an ad later on that caught my eye.

The web site I ended up on is called Swipebids. Now, first and foremost, I did NOT create an account. I will tell you it looked awful tempting, BUT I’m savvy enough to first investigate.

Always look before you leap.

This auction site looks impressive at first glance. It’s ratings in terms of traffic are through the roof. The products shown on the front page, in real time bidding, also impressive. Information on what’s what, well I did not go by what the site says, I first put it into Google to do a “background check”.

Turns out that when you open an account, it works the opposite of say eBay. On eBay you can bid, but it doesn’t cost you anything unless of course you are the lucky winner and get what you wanted.

Swipebids makes you pay upfront each time you bid. For example, say you see something for $2 and there is, oh an hour left on that item. According to sources online, your $2 is removed from your account right then and there. You literally put your money where your mouth is… and then you wait. If someone else bids, and you still want it then you bid again.

This time say you want it badly enough to outbid the last bid by another $2 (let’s assume the other person bid $4). It now costs you $6 on top of the first $2 you initially placed.

And, yes, the money is taken… gone for good, unless you win the bidding war and get that precious whatever for $6.

I found comments at Yahoo! Answers ranging from “don’t go there” to “swipe bids is ‘legit’ but you need to know what’s up with these sites”.

So there you have it, my advice for the day. Plus you really, really need to read the FBI news story. It, too, is advice you don’t want to disregard.

Have a great weekend!
