Holy shit, .15 euros per page? Why not just run to der Kinkos? I haven’t checked but I imagine it’s cheaper there. I get the convenience of having a printer at home but this is like if every cup of coffee you make at home cost you the Starbucks $8.25.
Or just don't buy HP.
The correct answer, as usual, is: don't buy HP.
probably cheaper to print with blood than to use HP printers
Really cheap if you BYOB
I BMOB everywhere I go
Does that include the price of the printer?
You forgot about that beautiful thing also known as your local library!
Mine is around 2 miles away from my home and only charges me 10¢ per b&w sheet. Its absolutely perfect for any printing needs I may have.
Unfortunately my city's library system was hacked a few months ago and all of their computer services are down until January while they un-fuck things. In the meantime I go to Staples when I want to print.
My thing is…they can dictate how much you use YOUR OWN PRINTER??? Like…how? Why? What.
Like…
WHAT.
$8.25 for a Starbucks? Man, it's like £3.55-£4 here in UK.
Depends on the drink. Get a super-frappa-extrashot-sugar bomb and yeah, it’ll be $8-9 easy. A regular medium coffee is $3 or so.
Depends on location too. I live in Seattle, I don't know the last time I've seen a cup for less than $6 on anything other than drip
I've got a whole 0.5kg bag of coffee for that much in Germany, and that'll last me almost a month (~25 cups). What's so good about Starbucks that it costs as much per cup?
Nothing really. I just can't make that when traveling. Unfortunately when out and about in the UK you either have Costa, Starbucks or Nero around the same price or McDonald's and Greggs which is cheaper. It's very hard to find any local coffee shops.
Yeah, depending on where you live, it may be cheaper to go to your local printer shop. Plus minus cost of transport and your time.
I did not check HP's prices to Poland. Table lists 100 pages as 0.07EUR/page. Krakow, Poland, nearby printer shop takes ~0.02-0.07EUR per A4 page, and there is no subscription. Nor doing 100 pages.
