    Chicks, have you checked the Sell By Date on these? I saw heaps in my local store about a month ago for 25p each but they were like well out of date. I don't know if they stop working after a certain date etc.

    But good luck. Happy hunting. Have a gorge delicious weekend all.

    Sell by date doesn't really matter, it matters even less when it's 25p! Oh, if only they were that cheap!

    Checked today and saw many Epson and Lexmark inks reduced by 50% -- unfortunately none of the HP was, and that's what I need!

    Still at £32 in the refurbished Boots in Glasgow Buchanan galleries.

    The two I bought yesterday elsewhere have expiry dates of Oct 2011

    I looked in my Boots today and only a few were reduced, they had a clearance sticker and a handwritten price with 'Short date' also written on them, they were with the full price ink but there was also some in the clearance corner.

    Thanks to the op. I went into my local Boots in Elgin (high st one) and managed to get 4 x HP 22 colour ink for 6.25 each (sorry can't do pound signs ever since I reinstalled xp) I use these for my work printer so total bargain. :beer:

    Was going to go to Elgin today but only want as far as Tesco Forres. Do you know if they had any Epson ones? Thanks. By the way I had the same problem with the £ sign. On the botton right hand of your screen you will see EN. Click it and make sure you have English UK and not English (United States). Hope this helps.
    If I had known then what I know now . . .

    They had quite a lot reduced, never noticed what kinds tho as in a bit of rush. Thanks for the tip for the pound sign btw.
