I last bought a box of checks (200) several years ago. I only write a few
per month. The debit card has eliminated most of the checks that I used to
write. I'm getting low though and need to order another box. Those cheap
offers in the Sunday paper ads work fine. My last box cost me $5.00 vs
almost $20.00 if I had ordered from my bank.
