5 Ways to Save Money at Your Office
Posted on March 27th, 2009 No comments
5 Ways to Save Money at the OfficeOffice supplies and the office in general can quickly become just another task that can get in the way of dealing with everyday tasks. On top of that, the office supply budget can become viewed more on the needs list then the wants list, thus causing the person in charge of office supplies to neglect searching for great prices and cost saving alternatives. The problem that may come when searching for office supplies are that there are many resellers offering what appear to be similar items, at similar prices, and when time is a crunch, most often someone from the office will have to be rushed out to the local office supply store to pick up a replacement toner cartridge or a ream of paper. With some simple planning and intuitiveness, an office can save money and be more prepared with less down time and more productivity.
1. Compatible Ink Cartridges & Compatible Toner Cartridges
If you have tried to save money at all in your office environment, no doubt have you come across the compatible ink cartridges and compatible toner cartridges, and probably even the refills. Compatible ink and toner cartridges can be a great way to save money over the expensive Genuine OEM cartridges that printer manufacturer’s offer. Generally compatible or remanufactured cartridges can save you 50% or more compared to the OEM printer cartridges. It is important though to not always look for the best deal when buying generic cartridges. Many people who purchase the cheapest cartridges possible on sites such as Ebay, have problems with the cartridges not performing like they should, with toner lines through the pages or ink not printing correctly on the pages. The best way to save money is by finding a reputable reseller of compatible and or remanufactured cartridges and pay just a little bit for the quality assurance. For example, online retailers such as Professor Ink offer a 12 month warranty on all products sold through them.
2. Recycle paper that has only been printed on one side
The next way to save money in your office is to use your own method of recycling paper. Depending on the office type, you could either print a lot of pages that are used for internal use only, for a short period of time, or you could print paper and have it used for clients use. For the first case, many companies will just print on one side of the page, and then throw the paper away. The best way to save money is to start a pile that has all of the printed sides of paper facing down, and then once you have a decent size stack left, insert them into your printer, so that the other side of the page can then be printed on. If used effectively, this method could essential cut your paper usage in half.
3. Turn off computers or put in Stand-By mode when you leave for the day
The next way to save money at the office is to simply turn off your computer or put it into stand-by mode at the end of the day. This can be a simple habit to get into and can save the company money on utility costs since less power will be used. Turning off the monitor is a good start, but by turning the computer off, or by putting it in stand-by mode will save even more electricity.
4. Replace your old printer
The next tip is to analyze how often you use your printer, and to examine the cost the consumables, such as printer ink and toner cartridges. One example could be that if you are using an inkjet printer, most of the cartridges will only print between a few hundred pages before needing to be replaced. If your office does much printing at all, you should consider upgrading to a laser printer. Printers such as the HP Laserjet 10150 use the HP Q2612A toner cartridge which an OEM cartridge from HP would cost about $69. Professor Ink offers the compatible version of the HP Q2612A for only $21.99, and the cartridge is estimate to print about 2,000 pages, as opposed to inkjet cartridges which print about 200. Doing some simply math and we find out that with the compatible HP Q2612A toner cartridge, the price per page is only $0.01, where the ink cartridge price per page is about $0.06. So in this case, the inkjet cartridge price is almost 6 times more expensive then the laser printer with a toner cartridge.
5. Buy office supplies in bulk
The final tip is to consider purchasing office supplies in bulk. Generally purchasing anything in bulk will always save money. Consider purchasing paper, toner cartridges, ink pens, sticky note pads, and even computer systems in bulk to save additional money.
After utilizing some or all of these 5 ways to save money at the office, you should be well on your way to doing your part to help the company out. Make sure to let the boss know if your achievements as well, hey maybe you will get a raise.

Find Online Deals
Posted on March 24th, 2009 No comments
With the holidays fast approaching, more and more shoppers are on a hunt to find online deals. Who can blame them? The stores are overcrowded, the selection limited, and more importantly the things you’re looking for are overpriced. The best way to find online deals is visit the sites listed here.Start at www.secretonlinedeals.com. This site doesn’t just offer a few deals in clothing or electronics, but great deals of up to 70% off in almost every major category. The site lists the best deals from Amazon. Make sure you sign up for their free newsletter and find online deals and special prices before the results are released to the general public. If you’re looking for electronics, apparel, furniture, jewelry, or even tools, make sure to look at them to find online deals.
If you’re looking to find online deals for traveling to visit family, head on over to Orbitz or Priceline. Orbitz lists deals on flights, hotels, and even car rentals. Plus if you book a combination of two or more, they offer discounted rates. Priceline offers the same deals, but allows you to bid on flights, using their Name Your Price program. You name your price, and Priceline will find the best match, or offer suggestions. Better yet, you’ll know within minutes if your bid has been accepted.
Or find online deals at www.blackfriday.info. This site is constantly updating unreleased to the public ads for the day after Thanksgiving sales. Working with the Keep Friday website, they find online deals for you, and post them on their site. Just click on the “deals” link, and you’ll be redirected to the deals section. Be cautious though because right now it seems like they’re primarily listing electronics.
www.overstock.com is another great place to find online deals. They offer everything from new releases in books and video games, to furniture and clothing, with discounts of up to 50% off retail prices. The best feature is that if you’re looking for a particular designer or author, just enter it the search box, and you’re all set. The disadvantage is you might find more than what you’re looking for. A search for “James Patterson” will result in every book, movie, and audiobook connected to his name, and any similar authors.
You can also head over to www.costco.com to find online deals. Even if you shop at the Costco in your neighborhood, or have never stepped foot inside one of the stores, you can find online deals here, no membership card required. Start by checking out their “what’s new?”, updated almost daily, to see what they just got in stock. Items go fast, so check back often. They offer thousands of items, from movies to a day in a race school.
If you really want to find online deals, this list will aid you in your adventure. Websites are stocking new merchandise daily in preparation for the holidays, and there’s no better time to find online deals than right now.

Ideas and Online Deals for a Garden That Blooms
Posted on March 21st, 2009 No comments
My wife, three kids and myself have just moved into a new home: a four-bedroom, two-storey house located in the outskirts of the city. It’s a lovely place, simply but practically furnished, and I am in charge of developing an outdoor space at the family backyard to sort of put the finishing touches on this new domestic life. Planning a garden can be a pain, so I am working on a few ideas and considering a good number of online deals to make this project less stressful and more affordable.Using my architectural skills, I created a design of something that would serve as a place for play and barbecue. Play because my kids are easily bored indoors – video games don’t cut it for them, which is good – and because it’s healthy to be able to have outdoor fun, be it in a swimming pool, on a mini-playground on the grass, or a makeshift backyard camp with tent. Barbecue because – well, because it would be nice to meet our neighbors, introduce ourselves, and start new friendships in a relaxed, casual, albeit smoky and slight alcoholic atmosphere. (Yes, I am bringing beers, folks!)
Thus I am assessing the condition of lights and soils and shade and trees and plants; I am taking pictures, rendering new designs, reading magazines, listening to suggestions, and consulting relatives and colleagues. I am thinking of ways on how to provide for shade: a sun-resistant parasol? A sail shade? I am also talking to my kids about what they want: Do they want a place where they can nurse pets? Would they like a playhouse complete with a sandbox and swing set?
I have also looked up the Smith & Hawken website to find out which garden structures would be appropriate for my needs. They have plenty of affordable online deals – be it for garden structures (I love their trellises and English-style arches), window boxes, plant stands, terrariums, plaques, stepping stones, fountains, and other such materials for landscaping a backyard paradise. What’s nice about most of the stuff that they have on sale is that these are being offered to be shipped for free.
Of course, while designing and building, I am keeping in mind outdoor safety. It’s a must in households with children: such as mine. That’s why I am looking to build a small storage area – by refurbishing an unused gazebo located in an area near the garden – so that my power tools and equipment are out of my playful children’s reach. Oh, I’ve seen enough TV reality shows and documentaries to exercise precaution in the backyard.
My wife, meanwhile, is the one in charge of all things flora and fauna. She loves the job; I believe that she herself has been looking for online deals for sweet-smelling, double-flowering, butterfly-attracting stocks. Like lilacs, Susans, daylilies and campanulas. She is also researching on elegant but affordable planters, pots, urns, cast-iron trivets and caddies. I am very confident that with her work (and her wisely calculated budget), our garden will bloom – as does our love, marriage, and family life.

Cheap Admission: Online Deals for Staying Active and Fit
Posted on March 19th, 2009 No comments
spent too much time looking for online deals on expensive equipment or gym memberships? Who says you’ve got to pay to play? If all you need is an hour everyday of fun-filled fitness and exercise on the cheap, here are several options you can choose from. Now get off your butt!
Aerobics – This healthy exercise involves rapid stepping patterns, accompanied by a lot of music and a very loud team leader in charge of providing cues and encouraging participants. Research has shown that aerobics allows oxygen to be distributed freely. Thus, it helps in the reduction of stress and weight control. Anyone who is tired of running on treadmills and might want to try a different approach in losing weight and improving fitness should consider aerobics. Only, you’ve got to stretch properly: people who don’t loosen up their muscles are more vulnerable to muscle strains and hyperextension.
Modern dancing – This is where your feet go loose. Be it breakdancing, some hiphop aero exercises on the street, or your own version of Brazilian martial arts capoeira, dancing is an exercise that draws a lot of movement, enables a free expression, and an enthralling musical experience. Dancing is a great way to lose those unwanted flabs of fat, and it also burns a lot of calories to make you look fit and fine. And you don’t need fancy equipment: you just have to get yourself a pair of sports & outdoor shoes with sufficient traction and there are plenty of online deals that offer just that.
Tai Chi – In the world of Tai Chi, good health is the key to achieving that state of inner calmness. You perform slow-motion rhythmic routines usually accompanied by ancient Chinese tunes. The exercise concentrates on relieving the physical effects of stress on the individual’s body and mind. Some say that Tai Chi is a form of moving meditation. It’s also a form of self-defense. If you’re a workaholic who needs much-needed downtime, then Tai Chi is for you, as it restores your mental and emotional mojo. Suggested attire usually involves loose, comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes.
Running – It’s quite obvious. You move forward. Depending on your abilities, it’s either faster than walking pace, or just a little bit slower than a Doberman at full speed. A weight-bearing aerobic activity, running burns more calories per minute than walking. It is fantastic for strengthening one’s cardiovascular system. Solitary types will like that they can step out the door and immediately start their workout with or without a companion. More sociable people will love the festive atmosphere of foot races, where participants can number in the thousands. And what’s it going to cost you? Not much. A good pair of running shoes that can withstand miles of running will set you back between 100 to 150 dollars, but of course, sites like Activa and Altrec offer good online deals for active gear, apparel, and sportswear.

Coupons for Gift Shop Shopping Online
Posted on March 15th, 2009 No comments
Do you use coupons for gift shop shopping online? The longer people shop on the Internet, the more savvy they become when it comes to saving money. This usually means doing a little comparison shopping and looking for sales that one website might have that another does not.
Coupons are another excellent way to save money as opposed to doing comparison shopping and looking for sales online. In this article will discuss ways you can find coupons and understand how to properly use them to save money when you are shopping online for your next gift.
Some retailers will offer promotional codes, which you can use to save up for the total purchase price when you order. Sometimes these promotional codes will apply just to shipping, or they might apply in the way of a percentage discount.
So where do you find these promotional codes?
It is amazing how many catalogs are still sent through the mail. People still like to physically touch the pages of a catalog as a flip through looking at various specials. When doing your gift shop shopping online you can still look off line in these catalogs for promotional codes, and then use them when you purchase on the Internet.
If you have made a purchase from a retailer in the past they may have included a catalog with purchase. Retailers also include offers for catalogs in various places on the Internet and you can receive them via mail once you sign up for them.
Of course you can receive promotional codes, by e-mail as well. Most retailers today are happy to send you emails announcing any sales or upcoming promotions they are running. That email will contain a promotional code which can be redeemed for additional discounts when you buy from that merchant.
As an added incentive retailers will add a couple of restrictions to their promotion codes. Usually they apply to a minimum purchase amount, or an expiration date that the code must be used by. Expiration dates are also becoming common with gift cards as more and more of those are being distributed in place of actually purchasing a gift.
Another common restriction applies to free shipping. Many retailers will offer free shipping, but only if you purchase a minimum amount. Often times it is worth purchasing an extra item, just to get the free shipping, because the cost of shipping is more than the item that you purchase.
This is a few tips on using coupons for gift shop shopping online. Understanding how the coupons, and promotional codes, work are important for actually receiving the maximum amount of your savings.
