Long-lasting printer Q: | Do you have any suggestions for a reasonably priced wireless printer that will not run out of ink after 50 pages? Would an inkjet printer be better in the long run and what brand? | A: | I print my radio scripts and notes every week, so that would drive me bonkers. It's the reason I've used Epson EcoTank printers for so long. They have big, easy-to-fill tanks that come with a ridiculous amount of ink. We all know the worst part of owning a printer are the expensive ink cartridges, hence my love for the EcoTank. The quality is fabulous, and you get thousands of prints before you ever need to refill. Add the Epson EcoTank to your online shopping list at Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, Staples and at Epson.com/EcoTankKim. |

Home security and data use Q: | I am thinking about getting SimpliSafe for my home but do not have unlimited internet. If I get this system, along with a few cameras, how much data will I be using up on a monthly basis before my general use? And will it slow down my computer or smart television? | A: | SimpliSafe cameras record only when triggered. Different events have different recording times, and the data used also depends on video quality. Here's an example. Say you had a break-in that lasted 5 minutes. With the default quality (720p), that recording would typically be about 30 MB. You'd need to have several full alarms every single day for a month to reach a gigabyte of data. Allow about 10 MB a day per camera. All the other components run on cellular that's included with the monthly monitoring bill. Visit SimpliSafeKim.com to get 20% off, a month free when you sign up for Interactive Monitoring, free shipping and a 60-day, money-back guarantee. |

Saving money on my meds Q: | What's that app you use to save money on medication? I can't believe how expensive my monthly pills have gotten and insurance barely helps. | A: | You need GoodRx! I use it every time I pick up medication for myself, Barry, you name it. With GoodRx, you can instantly compare prices for your prescription at every pharmacy in your neighborhood and save up to 80%. The best part is they don't collect your info. GoodRx is free and easy to use — often giving you a better deal than just using your insurance copay or Medicare.

Go to GoodRx.com/Kim and start saving up to 80% on your prescriptions. |
