Get a CISS.
I haven't needed to buy any ink for ages, because I stocked up just before my favourite consumables company was sold. However, the briefest of scans has turned up a set of ink refills for my printer for a tad under £30.
To buy the same amount of ink in genuine Epson cartridges costs £434.62. Considering I just use it for invoices, presentations and the weekly pub quiz picture round, it's good enough for my purposes!
Incidentally, it's also worth pointing out that the maths comparison above is inherently flawed. It costs me so much less to print, and I'm not impacting the environment with cartridge waste, so I do much more printing than I would if I was buying cartridges (even just cheap "compatible" cartridges). So the saving implied above is slightly more (probably by a good twenty quid) than I actually get.
Edit: It's bl**dy messy refilling inks, though...
