Keep calling for those $50 signings!

I just spent $281 for 2 years 100K E&O, I finally had to break down and get another printer ($250 - I got the 2 tray Brother 5370DW); so, of course I had to load up on 6 new cartridges ($153). I also bought a new Eureka MightyMite, well, I need something to vacuum up all the loose shredded paper on the carpet .... did I mention I also bought a shredder (to protect borrower privacy) oh, and my car insurance, car maintenance ($700 bill coming up) and cases of legal/letter paper. I'm sure I'm leaving out something, - of yes, I just took my CA renewal test, $30 or $40, can't remember, $80 for live scan fingerprinting, and my bond is coming up, not to mention new seals - but it's all related to being an NSA. So if I took those $40 Nations Direct jobs it would take me the next 20 years to break even! Yay!!

BTW my required renewal class was FREE compliments of the great NR. Thank you!

Oh, and I actually passed the SOS test, so it's just a matter of getting my new commission and then you'll have me to kick around another 4 years (if I last that long ...)

Well, first of all, let's be clear; I never buy brand name cartridges, I get "compatible." And I ordered from LD Products this time. I seem to have fewer problems with them.

So, six Brother Compatible TN650 HY Black Toner cartridges are $26 each for $156. Then, using the "leaf99" discount code (good through November) that kind Joan Malone posted here recently, I got $15.60 off, CA tax was $12.29. S&H is free UPS Ground 2-5 business days.

Oh! That's a good coupon, and I was on my last toner! Thanks

Love you guys, really! This is such a fantastic resource! I haven't used LD before, but their price with this coupon was about 1/2 of my earlier best offer. I got three extended cartridges for my P2015 for $108.

I still use my HP2015d and have been ordering cartridges for it from LD for years and years.

It's really quite simple to get latest coupons for anybody. Simply google, (for example LD Products), just search for LD Product coupons.

And don't forget auto maintenance. In the last few months, I've spent about $1500 on my car on routine stuff, but it was money well spent, since I like to keep my car well-maintained and not risk getting stranded somewhere. Oh, did I mention that my old Camry also just hit 180,000 miles? (I bought it gently used and paid cash for it upteen years ago, so the $1500 vs. car payments was a no-brainer!)
