[Aspuru-Guzik group list] toner cartridge rewards opportunity

by Joey Goodknight

Hello Everyone, If you have a printer at home that you buy ink or toner for, you might be able to make a little bit of money. Since my crowning as glorious Tsar of Aspuru-Guzik printers, I've been sending back our toner cartridges to HP and we get nothing in return. But, it turns out, Staples has a program where you can get $2 for each toner cartridge you give them IF you spend $30 on ink or toner in the last 180 days: http://www.staples.com/sbd/cre/products/131110/31729/ It's likely only worth it if you already buy ink for a printer but if anyone wants to do this program and start bringing the toner cartridges down to Staples, let me know. The group goes through a lot of toner so this could be a good opportunity. We can't buy group toner at staples, alas. Let me know if you're interested! -Joey
