So I'm a platinum member of Hallmark. AKA I go there and spend a fortune on cards all.the.time. I like to send cards for everything. Sometimes I forget, sometimes I am on it. Either way, I do my best to send cards to people.
One day I was bored up north waiting for a meeting to begin. I walked into Dollar General. It's the best place in town other than Wal-Mart. Not kidding.
There I discovered this:
That is for these:
Are you kidding me? $0.50 cards? This cannot be true. They cannot be cute. They cannot be fun.
Oh yes they are. In fact, just as cute, if not better than Hallmark. Funny, I had been in Hallmark earlier in the day and spent $16 on 5 cards. Here, I got 8 cards for a quarter of the price -- $4. No joke!
And let's be honest, we don't like giving cards that show they are only $0.50 on the back right? These have the full price on them so like $2.79 or $3.89.
Sold! (And they're a client of ours so I feel even better about my cards, haha!)
Will I still go to Hallmark? Absolutely. But this was great to "stock up" on basics and have them on hand when necessary!
My mom and I ALWAYS buy our cards from the dollar store! And they always have a huge selection of sweet/funny/sentimental/perfect cards. It's seriously the best, so glad I'm not the only one who shares this lil secret :)
ReplyDeleteI recently stocked up at Dollar General. I always thought they would be ick cards but they're quite good.
ReplyDeletedefinitely taking advantage of this next time i need to stock up!
ReplyDeleteso glad you stopped by my blog! thanks for following!
I love stocking up on greeting cards too! Good to know about Dollar General. So funny but you are so right about not wanting to give cards that say $.50 on the back. haha! :)
ReplyDeletewow what a deal!
ReplyDeleteUm I had no idea and this post was amazing! Next time I'm home or shoot, even see a dollar store I'm pulling over. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's where I always get cards from - they are SO much cheaper than anywhere else. I mean, 50 cents?! The only person I don't buy cards for is Brian. We always make ours for each other. It makes it a little more special :)
