I decided to drop by my bank on the way home from work today to ask about re-ordering checks. The teller looked up my account and then had to ask the manager. She said that my checks would cost $23 which is less than the online through the bank website price of $29. She politely offered to order them for me but I declined I knew I could do better elsewhere.
Looking up 'best place to order checks', I found a top ten list and started my research. The first 2 companies looked promising but either their website wasn't easy to search by price or there were other fees. I ended up back on the Walmart site and designed my basic checks for $7.46 plus shipping. I'm 42 years old and this is the first time that I have ordered checks independently from my bank. I feel like a rebel. Haha. Now I just have to wait patiently for 2 weeks until they arrive.

Congrats on your finding a low-cost way of buying checks. Looks like you will pay what I last paid, so I toast you, you rebel LOL! :)
Wild woman!
They are free here, cant imagine having to pay for bank stationery but I guess its different everywhere.
Thank you, Dave. I need to scribble outside the lines once in a while!
Free checks, free healthcare, no yearly tax forms! The benefits of moving to the UK are piling up, Lizzie!
Bravo! I love this story. Short and to the point AND educational. I didn't even know I could order checks online! What a great savings.
Keep us posted on other rebellious activities you come up with.
Thanks, Gretchen! Glad you could stop by!
