If you aren't already inundated with free cards from charities soliciting donations, and you just need a couple of Christmas cards, check your thrift stores, first, before going to the dollar store.
I was at St. Vincent de Paul yesterday afternoon, and found Christmas cards, with envelopes, at 10 cents each. I only need a couple, so this was the least expensive way for me to buy just what I needed. I had planned on going to Dollar Tree to pick up cards. I saved $1.20 (over buying the 50-cent cards at Dollar Tree), on 3 cards.
