I just picked up a Canon LBP6030w for my mom for $84.99 shipped from Staples. She's recently taken a government job, and with the current state of affairs has been working from home. This means LOTS of documents. She went through a 2 pack of inkjet cartridges in less than a month, so I put my foot down pretty quick on that nonsense.
If you don't need color, and print rarely, then laser is the way to go. 100%.
