It’s almost that time of year for me…time to order new checks! We rarely use checks, so I only order a small box each time, but they’re still a necessary evil. Several of the small businesses I frequent around town don’t accept debit or credit cards, and I rarely carry cash. The school always wants payment in the form of a check for field trips and other things, and the piano teacher always wants cash or a check as well. We’ve been ordering checks through our credit union, which is convenient, since they deduct the payment right from my bank account…but they’re not very cheap.

VistaPrint is now offering discount checks at their website, and if the quality is anything like the business cards I ordered a few months ago, I know I’ll be impressed. Our credit union also offers ONE design, and as you can imagine, after using that design for the past two years - I’m sick of it! You can select from several different designs at VistaPrint, and even make suggestions to their team on new designs you’d like to see! Right now you can get 25 free checks with your order, just use this VistaPrint coupon code when you check out: BlogFreeChecks08
