    Default Cheap cheques

    Okay,it's time for me to order some cheques. Last time, I ordered from my bank they cost me 22,94$ for 100 cheques!!! Insane!! Anyone know of a service that is cheap,cheap,cheap. I don't need anything fancy and the thought of having to dish out money to pay for cheques is really bothering me. Unfortunately, the school will only except cheques so I don't have a choice to have some on hand..

    There are a ton of places online. I suggest doing a search. The last time I ordered my checks I bought them from www.CheckWorks.com Their prices were really inexpensive. I've heard that Walmart (online) has them quite cheap too, but I don't think they have much of a selection.

    I have used checks in the mail and checks unlimited. I have not had any problems with either of them. Both have good deals if you are new customer.
    I have also heard of people ordering checks from Costco (from their website I believe). I have not ordered checks from Costco, but I did get our wedding invitations from them. They did a good job for a good price and I did not need a membership.

    What do you use checks for?

    If you are using them to pay bills. You should definitely consider paying your bills online. The majority of cable, power, utilities allow you to do this now. You can even elect to not receive a paper bill in the mail and receive an EBill/Statement. Which will save you sorting time, space, trees, and oil (because they won't have to print yours out. Imagine if millions of people choose this option).

    Also paying bills online saves postage, time having to fill out the check and put it in the mail.

    The benefits of paying bills online through the company the bill is through is spectacular and such a time saver. I never get bills in the mail anymore because they come to my email instead. I find that much more convenient.

    Check (get it, haha) with your bank, they possibly have standard checks cheap. I think I got 100 for $9.95, they were just plain checks not cute little furry animals or anything. Oh well, the companies I pay don't need to see anything cute.

    I recently ordered from Checks in the Mail...it was cheaper to order from the ad in our coupon section than it was online.
    Bought my new oven 1/08 and loving it!


    My recurrent nightmare is there is no such thing as PMS, and this is my real personality.
