Great Deal on HP Ink at Staples

I'm not positive if this will work, but if you can stack these two deals, the best case scenario will get $50 worth of HP ink for only $30.

The first deal is a rare coupon for $10 off a $50 HP ink purchase.

The second promotion is for a $10 Staples gift card when you spend $49 on HP ink.

While I'm pretty sure you will be able to use both deals, you might have to buy $60 worth of ink so that after the instant coupon your total is still over $49. This will bring your final price to $50. If the rebate doesn't print at the register because you used a coupon, you can find the rebate form on Staples website. However, if it doesn't print at the register it might be a clue that Staples will not allow you to combine the promotions.

Get $20 Worth of HP Products for $10 Through DealPulp

DealPulp is another social shopping site that specializes in online deals. Today's deal is for a $20 voucher to HP.com for only $10. In addition to computers and printers, this voucher can be used towards anything on HP.com including ink, flashdrives, and other small accessories.

Why I believe in Extended Warranties

I am currently suffering from mycomputerhatemeitis. Last week, Windows started having trouble loading and I had to go into safe mode. Yesterday, I spent the whole day allowing the computer to reformat the harddrive, and today I am still getting the error messages on start-up.

Luckily, three years ago I purchased an extended complete care warranty. At the time, I wasn't sure about the value and compared both the in-store and company based protection plans. In the end, I bought the HP Complete Care Warranty for my computer. This plan covered everything even if I dropped the computer. A great guy named Jarrod walked me through a BIOS test and determined that the problem was in fact the harddrive. I am mailing my computer in and by next week it will be working again.

Please be advised that I currently have my work computer and will still be able to update but I don't have all my software so any logos or graphics might have that annoying white box around it.

I would also like to say a quick why I love HP and would purchase their computers again. As I mentioned, I have had this computer for three years. This is literally the first time I've had any major issues. I've had the typical battery issues that all computers of this age see, but I never had to use my warranty until today.  I'm a little sad though because the problems are just starting but my three year warranty expires next month.  I guess I'll spring for the four or five year warranty next time.
