School is back!  And Land O Lakes wants you to know that they are now a partner with Box Tops for Education.  I’m sure many of you are good Boxtop clippers.  I have to admit that since I don’t have kids in the local public schools yet, I really haven’t paid much attention to this great program.

Box Tops for Education is a program that takes the Box Tops (the trademarked logo with the points) from participating products and credits your school with the amount they’ve allotted for each top you turn in.  Land O Lakes Box Tops are worth 10 cents each.

For more info on Box Tops for Education and the participating products, go to their web site.  You’ll be able to create your own account and register it for your school(s), print valuable coupons for Box Top products, etc.

At the beginning of the new school year, most schools are working hard to get the campaign out in front of the parents.  Be sure to find out how your school prefers you turn them in and make it a regular activity with your child(ren).  What a great way to make your frugal shopping deals go even farther!

Guest Post – How Do You Save Money on Ink?

We are in the business of finding all the great deals for you, helping you cut the cost of your shopping bill & we are always telling you to go here and print this coupon, but how can we cut the costs on our ink usage? Here are a few ideas on things you can do to help cut your printing costs:

1) Refill your ink cartridges. In my town there is a local shop that fills them for ½ of what it would have cost to buy a new one. Check around your area, you can even find refill stations in your local mall. Walgreen’s refills your cartridges for $10-$15 typically. Also you can recycle your old ink cartridges at Staples & they will give you a $3 voucher which you can then use toward a new one!

2) Use recycled paper for your printing. This can include the kid’s leftover assignments from school, scrap papers, newsletters, etc. Any paper with a blank backside. I simply turn them over and print on the back. When using clean brand spanking new white paper I print coupons on both sides…You know how you print off a coupon and it has a whole bunch of writing below it….what a waste! I print another single coupon on the other side running the opposite direction. My printer even does a great thing: When I am printing a single coupon, right after it shows the coupon coming out of my printer I can hit cancel and it doesn’t print all that extra wording. Saves ink there!

3) Set your printer to “draft quality”. Simply go into your printer settings and select options and adjust accordingly. This uses half the ink and you still get the full coupon printout effect. I also print my coupons in black ink only. Color ink is so much more expensive to purchase, so not using color saves me a lot of money there. I haven’t had a coupon denied yet due to the fact that I print in black only.

Do you have other helpful ways to save money on your printing costs?
