Comparison of ink prices is quite difficult because postage can make up a large part of the total cost. If you do only want a few cartridges, the ones that offer free postage will normally turn out to be the cheapest, even if their individual cartridge prices a little more.
Also, look out for the freebies. For example, inkClub give a free cartridge to new customers ordering Epson or Canon compatible inks (but they charge £2.99 postage on all orders). Internet Ink offer a 10% discount on subsequent orders once you have made a purchase. They also give a free Parker jotter pen with orders for over £30 of compatible inks and free HP photo paper when you buy 5 or more HP inks.
For printer ink we generally find that inkfactory has the best overall deals, allowing for offers and postage. In many cases they sell double capacity cartridges and there are also buy-one-get-one-free offers. If you are lucky, the ink you need may have a double capacity cartridge and a BOGOF, giving you four times the ink for the price of a single cartridge and free delivery.
Although Play.com are better known for music and pre-recorded DVDs, they have a good selection of branded blank CDs and DVDs at very good prices with free delivery on everything.
MyMemory are usually the best for flash drives and memory cards. Their own branded drives and memory cards are particularly inexpensive, but branded ones, too, including the Sandisk Cruzer range, are excellent value.
Sandisk Cruzer 4Gb flash drive £8.99
