If you do a lot of printing, then you must know how costly replacing your ink cartridges can be. That said, refilling your ink cartridges is an easy way to save money and go green. Why throw out those empty plastic cartridges when you can just put more ink in them. There are plenty of videos online that show you how to refill them, or you can just find a place close by that will refill them for you at a fraction of the price of new ink cartridges.

Refilling is better than recycling because it still takes a significant amount of effort to recycle something and it takes virtually no effort to reuse something. If for some reason you enjoy wasting money and want to buy new ink cartridges, you  can at least bring the empties to Staples and get $3 per ink empty cartridge.

SIGG bottles are a great way to save yourself some serious cash while doing your part to not fill up the landfills with plastic bottles that will never break down. These are aluminum bottles that do not alter the taste of your drink and has plenty of different designs every occasion. The cap seals tightly so you will not have to worry about leaks. SIGG also has thermo bottles to keep your drinks hot or cold for hours!

How much do you spend per day on bottled drinks? Two dollars? Four dollars? Eight dollars!? Have you ever actually thought about how much money you blow on drinks per day? If the average bottled drink costs $2.00, and lets say you buy two per day, on average, you would spend $1,400 per year on bottled drinks alone! If you think taxes are high… If you make $40,000 per year, you would spend 3.5% of your money on drinks. I did not even factor in the newly placed 5 cents deposit on water bottles that was just enacted so you can imagine how much more money it would cost you.

So now, does buying a reusable bottle still sound ridiculous to you?
