HP Inkjet cartridges - misprice?

Just been to get a new black one (HP56) - it was £22.99 in WHSmith, so went round the corner to an independent and paid £16.99. However, checked the WHSmith website when I came home and it's £11.99 on there, which is half the instore price!! :mad:

I thought that postage would be extra, but you can have it delivered, free, to your local WHS.
Have checked Amazon and other sites, but with postage it's a good few quid more than the WHS one. Has to be a misprice on the web, no mention of special offer and 50% of the shop price can't be right! Bargain and worth buying a few! :beer:
I only exist in my own mind - if you can see, hear or read me, you are a product of my imagination.

    I never buy the brand inks as they are far to expensive - try the buget ones the quality of them are the same pretty much but the cost is a lot lot less - I pay about £2.59 each for mine when a buy a few at a time online.

    It's only £16 direct from HP:

    (mind you, the postage is a bit steep at £5.86 !) :eek:

    I think the £22.99 WHS price must be a mistake. :confused:
