Do you buy from online discount office supply stores?
If I order office supplies online, I usually go for officedepot.com or staples.com. A colleague of mine recently told me that she buys from discount online retailers and saves a ton of money, but doesn’t notice a sacrifice in the quality. Have you experienced the same thing? How can one online store sell things for so much cheaper than another?

The answer is that they often get the same products direct from the manufacturer, at wholesale prices, and also don't try to spend so much money on advertising and branding, so the savings are passed on the the customer. One such discount online retailer is http://www.fyioffice.com/ , especially if you want inexpensive ink & toner cartridges.
