  • Checks

    Where do you guys get your checks from I have gotten them from adds in the paper they are much cheaper than from the bank. However I have just gotten a notice from my bank that they have a new routing # so I need to buy more and I got them so long ago I don't remember where I got them. I hate throwing out perfectly good checks. I don't use them often that is why they have lasted so long but guess I will be shredding. I can't seem to find any of those adds that seem like they are everywhere when you are not looking.

    Wells Fargo does a custom checking account. You have to autopay $25 per month into a savings account (you can transfer it back to checking at any time) and they give me my checks for free. Which is good because I don't go through that many so I keep having a ton that need to be tossed when I move. It seems like a waste of $20.

      Walmart Check Printing is fast and cheap. I do it all online from their website. Make sure that your address at the bank is the one you put on the checks because they check all of your information.

        I've heard a lot of people say that they've had good luck with Wal-Mart too.

        For ultra-low pricing, I suggest SuperValueChecks. One of the best things about their rates is that they are the same for repeat orders as well as first orders.

        Other companies will offer a very low rate for first-time orders and then charge more for the next order, however, you can search for them and, if you haven't ordered from them before, you can get a good deal. My mother recently got two boxes of checks and a couple of extras (mailing labels I think) for $11 including shipping from one of these: ChecksUnlimited, Designer Checks, Checks.com.

        I didn't make those click-able links because you should Google for coupon codes to get the best price.

          I recently found a place online after seeing that my bank wanted nearly $30 for 300 checks. Instead, I got 600 for less than $20 at www.checksunlimited.com. I think it was some type of a buy two, get one free deal. I don't know what type of deals they have right now, but it might be worth a look. The site was easy to work with.

            I have a no fee bank account that includes free cheques. I didn't realize people were paying for their paper cheques. I'm glad I don't pay for them. I only really use 2 per month anyways.

              I believe I usee checks unlimited too. Those little fliers you get in the mail - very cheap.
