The local printer cartridge refill shop must love to try and
rip people off.
I have a Canon printer. It uses a cheap cartridge that I can
get new on the internet for about $25. I can buy a 2 pack at Costco for $40.
Since about the only thing I print these days are Groupon
coupons, I figured I’d get a refilled cartridge from a local company. I’ve
bought those on the internet and never had a problem. Considered buying online
this morning, but I thought, “I’d like it today and I can support a local
store.”
I headed to the shop down the street; gave the counter
person my printer model number. She looked it up on her computer; said “Yes, we
have that. It will be $30.”
My mouth fell open. I told her the cost of a new one is $25.
She simply smiled as I walked out the door.
Came home; bought 4 off Amazon for $27 and free shipping.
I would love to shop at Mom and Pop places over the box stores, but they are more expensive and their hours are while I am at work
