where else but off the net. I've calculated the cost to use my Canon printer since ink cost are a killer but the paper is cheap so I figure that it costs me about 35 cents a page due to darn ink cost.

Folk's who use refill inks catch a break on that cost but with Canon printers refill ink is a no go since it plugs the print head.

Online coupons? Do I just tell them at the stores that I know they are there? I do not have a printer~ have no desire or space for a printer~ wouldn't know how to hook it up~ laptop is on my lap sitting here in my car~ not just sure where you would put a printer ~ maybe set it on the roof? Answers please!!!

Online coupons have to be printed out, they come from several different websites which I have posted in an earlier post.

There are some stores that allow you to "load" coupons on your savings card. Safeway does this. And I think Kroger does and probably others. Check out cellfire.

Safeway does, unfortunately Kroger ended the program for some STUPID reason.

If I wanted to print online coupons I'd have to buy a printer~ the coupons I've seen won't pay that expense

Are you printing color copies? If so, that would run you broke. But if you're printing black and white, print costs should be a lot lower. Of course, if you print a decent amount at all, buy a low-end laser black and white printer for ~100 new and your print cost per page will drop to pennies.
