OEM vs refill

Like anyone, The Think Tank needs ink from time to time. However, after being shocked by the OEM prices for years. The noggin' got to thinkin. Is there really any reason to buy ink at RETAIL? There isn't a benefit of it, no warranty is going to cover something not printing correctly. And yes, refill nightmares are out there. For any industry, product, location, even a visit to a National Park, one can find dissappointment and regret.

After months of searching The Think Tank has finally come across the best place for them to buy their ink. Since everyone is different, you make your own call. The thoughts here are pretty clear here.

The Thnk Tank purchased the following three cartridges of ink:
HP95 - Color (HP C8766WN)
HP94 - Black (HP C8765WN)
HP110 - Color (HP CB304AN)
At a retail store, The Think Tank would have paid close to $60 for these three items. Maybe closer to $55 if they purchased a 2 pack Combo from HP, as they do sell 94 & 95 together. These prices do not include taxes or shipping.

Through The Think Tank's store of choice, the total charged was $39.56 This includes taxes, and as always, free shipping on every order, regardless how much the order is for. On top of that The Think Tank received $6.55 cash back on this purchase just by buying the link through their BigCrumbs account (please feel free to see the screen shots below).

Buying the ink through The Think Tank's BigCrumb account brought the total paid down to $33.01! A savings of nearly, if not more than, %50 off of the retail price!
