A couple of good ways to save money on cards: The dollar store has a surprisingly good array of cards and at mine (Dollar Tree) they are 2 for a dollar. We also like to make cards by using construction paper. We cut out a picture of someone (funny, famous, whatever) and write something in a "balloon" (like in the comics). There are so many possibilities!

My 7 year old and I love to make cards. I refuse to buy cards. I save all the cards we receive in a small recycled gift bag and when we have an occasion we go through and find a pretty picture or saying and recycle it into something unique and beautiful. I think people appreciate homemade cards so much more than store bought. My little one is so artistic, she comes up with some really neat ideas. Much better than me.

I send E-Cards
I only mail cards when the person is not on line.
E-cards are Free
I like to buy white card stock. Use shaving cream and food coloring, mix together and put on a flat cookie sheet. Lay the white card stock on the shaving cream and it picks the colors up.
Since I'm visually impaired, I don't get the pleasure of recycling greeting cards the way so many do. And I do send ecards instead of paper whenever possible.
A great "second best" to ecards is the dollar store. We had to run out "last-minute" card shopping last Christmas. Without a lot to spend, I was thrilled to find a beautiful box of cards marked down to around $2.
