| Cheap photocopies in Vancouver
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any cheap photocopy shops around the Lower Mainland. Looks like nobody has started a thread on this.
By "cheap" I mean 5c or less per copy (black + white).
In particular I am looking for one near Victoria + 54th, but if you know of any around the city, post 'em here. 
So I'll start.. there's one on the north side of Broadway, around Maple. It's just east of the Frog and Firkin.

^ No no no, just a few sheets here and there, such as a passport application, or some tax forms for example. No textbooks, but if you know a place that does 'em, I'm sure some RSers wouldn't mind knowing.  | |

Just go to Staples and lie about how many pages you've copied. They never ever check.
But generally speaking they're quite cheap anyways.

buy a scanner/printer. Sounds like in the long run you will save way more time.

The difference between 5c a sheet and 25c a sheet for 5 pages isnt even enough to buy a Twix bar these days.
While I dont like to overpay for things, the cheapness of some of the people on this forum absolutely blows my mind.

like lowside67 said....if its just a few copies then just find the closest place...in fact, i dont think those cheap pricing kicks in for any of the places unless u are copying like 200+ pages or something?
anyway, i used to go to this place with my ex at like 11PM called Imprint Graphics & Copying at 1935 Broadway
best thing is that it opens 24/7 as i recall

Mark | LOL you have to meet slammer, he's the cheapest SOB I've ever met He'd probably hand copy the pages to save $$$.
You'd think he'd spend more in gas to find cheap photocopies, then you'd realize he'd walk there just to save even more!

The money spent from the gas of driving your car from Victoria+54th to elsewhere will actually cost more than saving that extra 2 or 3 cents for your 10 page documents.

Mark | If you read my original post, I AM looking for the closest place, to Victoria + 54th.  A for effort though.
There's gotta be a store that does these things within a few blocks of this intersection. Hoping someone local will know.
