The end of the financial year silly season is almost in full swing, and what a good time to have a look at your ongoing expenses and find out where you, and your business, can save money in the years ahead. We find a lot of people can make big savings by shopping around for some of the smaller things – like printer consumables for your office or home.
While most people will happily shop around for the lowest price on their printer, we find many people get stung by companies claiming the "lowest prices" on laser toner and ink cartridges. Take Fuji Xerox toner as an example – using Hot for a full set of C1110 toners will save you over $100 when compared to a large competitor. Or look at the popular HP 35A black toner – using Hot you save a massive 35% on your HP toner costs. Have a look at the prices we collected across popular consumables on June 1, 2010 comparing hot.com.au to an office supply competitor:
These are just specific examples, and we'll be the first to say we haven't compared prices on every toner available – but we think it warrants a mention that you should shop around for your toner cartridges and ink. You could be saving yourself a great amount of money and lowering your ongoing costs.
