Sub: #1 least expensive place to order checks from?

Does anyone have any ideas about what the least expensive place to order checks from is? I only write a 6 checks a month (water bill, 2 mortgages, installment loan and 1 to each of my two kids for spending money) so I don't really want to buy thousands of them in order to get a cheap price, because they just tend to sit around for years. Any suggestions for me? I bank at BofA and Chase, am just closing my Wells Fargo Bank Account finally!

Any place other than your financial institution is going to be a specialty place. So being custom checks they will be more expensive then just going to your bank and ordering basic checks...

The least expensive place to order checks from is Carousel Checks. I got 150 for around $6.00, but you can actually get a half order of 75 checks for around $3.89

Carousel Checks is the cheapest place around. I got an order of 150 checks for about $6.00, but you can actually order 75 checks for between $3-$4.

I just went ahead this afternoon and ordered 150 checks and including shipping the total was $6.84 ... I'll report back when I recieve them as to how the quality is and how quickly they come. The website said 2 weeks but we'll see if they get here quicker than that or slower. thanks again for the referral!

Checks are ridiculously expensive. Can't you use a debit card, instead? To me, it's a lot easier than using a check, unless you're using the checks to "float" where you write a check and hope they won't cash it for a few days until you can get the money in the account (not that I would know anything about that, lol). It just seems to me that it would be cheaper, and easier to use a debit card, you just have to watch your purchases.

Sometimes you just HAVE to write a check.

When your paying rent and the landlord doesn't give you a receipt.

I'm lucky with my bank, we get checks cheap. No we don't have anything fancy but we use our debit card most of the time.

Does Carousel Checks allow you to pay for your order by debiting your check account, or do you have to pay by credit or debit card? Are the checks delivered by regular mail, or do they come UPS? Just wondering because, I've had UPS leave packages at my door w/o signature if I'm not home. I live in an apartment and I certainly don't want the checks left at my door if I'm not home.

regular USPS mail left in the mailbox is how I received mine. And you have the option to pay any way you want, by credit card, online check, even just via the mail.
