New shopping sites

So times at the office are tight right now. The “r word” has been sneaking up on our company, and everyone knows now that we need to face it. However, with the merger and all, we are still tight on supplies and equipment. 

My shopping list this month had a large red post-it note on the top that read “Save Money, We Are Serious.” So I will let you all in on a little secret, the big office chains do not save you money. You can find everything and more at better prices from smaller specialty sites. For example, first item on my list was a new shredder for my boss. Now, he has minimal shredding needs, so nothing particularly large was necessary. I decided on the GBC Shredmaster CC185. Why that one? It is cross cut, which I believe is important for private documents. It can shred paperclips, staples, etc., and it is light weight. Perfect for a desk. I found at Staples first for $169. Then I looked a little deeper online and found the same model on iShopShredders for $119. $50 savings! My boss was pleased.
