Oulu Best (Worst) Buy

The "Handbook For Survival in Finland" authored by Annikki and Jacob Matthan in 1994 after 10 years of research of life in Finland created a "game" to live well in Finland with a nominal salary. The system helped beat yearly inflation every year. This Blog shows how the system is still valid even in 2008!

Printer for less than €15!

This week Markantalo in Oulu advertised a Lexmark printer for € 39.

I went to have a look.

The first thing I looked for was the cost of a cartridge which is used with the printer. This printer on offer uses a single four colour cartridge and that costs € 24.90.

As one cartridge is provided with the printer, the cost of the printer is just € 14.10.

I presently have 2 Lexmark printers, both of which use a 2 cartridge system. The lowest cost for 2 cartridges is €42. Even if I go for refilling these cartridges, it would cost me € 24.

Hence, this is my BEST BUY for this week. (But remember there are several hangups with single cartridge systems!)

The only problem is that the stocks of these printers have not been received as yet.


I went to the main outlet of Markantalo in Limingatuli. The had not received stocks as yet.

They checked whether their outlet in Euromarket had received supplies. Sadly, the answer was NO.

So check out if you are really interested in getting a cheap throwaway printer. It may serve its purposel for the maximum of a year.
