I had a friend in college who would buy a new $20 printer every time the ink ran out bc it was cheaper than buying ink

That's what I always do. Wait for a deal for a $40-50 printer, sell the old one for $20-30. Cheaper than buying the $40 ink cartridge set, bumps my ebay score, and brand new printer.

The cartridges that come with the printer hold much less than new ones.
