Manufacturers don't make their money on the machines. They know that if they can get you to accept that printer, you'll have no choice but to buy their expensive ink cartridges to keep the thing cranking out copies. But wait. Maybe you do have choices. Here are ways that "Every- day Cheapskate" readers keep the costs at bay without giving up the option of printing copies at home. TONER TAMER. We purchase refurbished LaserJet printers on eBay. They use toner cartridges instead of ink. Toner lasts much longer and doesn't dry up if you don't print on a regular basis. Some of the printers we have purchased even come with a cartridge. Usual- ly they cost us less than $100, including shipping, and toner car- tridges need to be replaced far less often than the ink cartridges in inkjet printers. We save a lot of money in the long run. -- Courtnay, Colorado INK MAS- TER. I take my printer's ink car- tridges to be refilled, which is cheaper than buying new cartridges. An employee at Office- Max told me that the print quality for a refilled cartridge largely depends on how quickly it is refilled. If it is taken out of the printer and not refilled soon, the car- tridge dries out and the print quality when it is refilled will not be as good. -- R.P., e-mail PRINTER OPTIONS. Another way to save on printer ink is to print in black and white, as opposed to color, and choose lower-quality printing, such as "draft" quality or "fast print," when you don't need a quality copy. You usually can find these options under "preferences" when you are ready to print. Use the pull-down menu to print rather than the printer icon on your toolbar so you can change your printing options as needed. -- Lucienne M., California PAPERLESS PRESER- Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate VATION. When I make online purchases, I save the order confirmation screen in a folder under my favorites on my computer instead of printing the page for my records. Also, instead of making paper copies of rebate submis- sions, I scan the paperwork into my computer before mailing it. This way, I can look up the information quickly, and it is stored safely with- out creating clutter and wasting paper. -- Patty, e-mail North State Food Bank food giveaway The North State Food Bank has scheduled a Tailgate Food Giveaway for Monday, Aug. 30 from 9 a.m. to noon at Hamilton High School, 620 Canal St., in Hamil- ton City. The program is open to any low-income Butte, Colusa, Tehama, Trinity and Glenn coun- ties residents in need of food. Food will be dis- tributed while supplies last. No guarantee is made of adequate sup- ply. This service is made possible by the Commu- nity Action Agency of Butte County, Inc., the local Feeding America affili- ate, through its North State Food Bank and by the California Emergency Food Link of Sacramen- to. Representatives will be available to assist the public. Infor- mation on the Community Action Agency’s programs will be available. For more information call 538-7158, Ext. 225. Local cooks are invited to compete Fifteen Downtown merchants and the Tehama County Cattle- Women will be offering beef and micro brews 5 -7 p.m. Sept. 18. As part of this Beef ‘N Brew event, local cooks are invited to join participating merchants in a beef appetizer cooking competi- tion. This event will be judged by local beef producers and digni- taries. Competitors will be vying for a trophy and prizes. Competitors will be invited into stores to present their appetizers for judging and after judging will share their fare with the participating tasters. With the growing popularity of food events it is hoped that this competition grows to be a bigger part of Beef ‘N Brew at next year’s event. Interested cooks should send an email to Paula Holden at paulalh@live.com for an applica- tion. Beef ‘N Brew is a three part event, the Beef Appetizer competi- tion, beef appetizer and micro brew tasting in stores 5-7 p.m. followed by more Beef ‘N Brew and street dancing at the Cone & Kimball Plaza 7-10 p.m. The public may pre-purchase tickets online at www.plumcrazy- boutique.com, or at Plum Crazy, Red Bluff-Tehama County Cham- ber of Commerce, Sparrow Fine Art and Antiques, from Tehama County CattleWomen and Heart- Felt Designs Gallery. Pre-purchase tickets are $10 for both Beef ‘N Brew events and may be purchased at this price until Sept. 17. Tickets on the day of the event are $10 for in store Micro Brew and beef tasting and $5 for the Beef "N Brew at the clock tower. The event at the clock tower is $5 and it includes a tri-tip sand- wich, your first brew and dancing to the music of the Rough Cut Band. All participants must be 21 years of age except for beef tasting in stores.
