Office DEPOT realized some time back that they were losing money trading free reams of paper for used ink cartridges. That was my favorite trade in and apparently everyone else’s too so they’ve changed gears.

Now you get a $3.00/unit discount coupon on future purchases. The good thing is that you can combine three of your coupons for a combined $9.00 savings the next time you’re in the store. Helps you save a nice chunk on new cartridge purchases if you don’t trust the quality of the recycled types in your printer or don’t want to risk your printer warranty with a recycled one.

Check with your other favorite local computer and office supply stores are to see what their used cartridge turn in policy is. Every buck counts for your household or business office supply expenses.
