every day prices on dell or lexmark branded cartridges below... this is
what i recall when i last looked a couple of months ago. dell cartridges
are a little cheaper, and when you add in shipping, a lot cheaper. i find
that staples and other local stores are cost even more than buy.com plus
buy.com shipping charges. refill kits work on these cartridges but they are
not for everyone. the best thing to do is wait for dell promotions or
coupons and then stock up.
dell a920 cartridges form dell 'home and small office':
3 pak black $69.99 free shipping, no tax collected (effectively $23.33 each)
2 pak black $50.00 free shipping, no tax collected (effectively $25 each)
2 pak color $56.00 free shipping, no tax collected (effectively $28 each)
lexmark x1150 cartridges from buy.com:
1 pak black $25.95 plus shipping, no tax collected
1 pak color $28.26 plus shipping, no tax collected
