Christmas cards can BITE IT. (Rusalka)

I just will NOT pay more than twenty dollars for Christmas cards. That's already too much. I don't care how adorable DD is and how much I want a Pinterest-worthy photo card... they're just crazy expensive even with coupons and discounts! I am putting this dream to bed. Who's with me?!

    Last year, we just ordered a number of photos from Walgreens and photoshopped on some words.  Then we mailed them in envelopes that we bought from Staples.  If was much cheaper then buying "official" Christmas cards and I doubt our family minded one bit.
    That's a really good idea! I considered just ordering some prints and including them with a standard card. I think I just get these ideas in my head about how I want something to look, and it's IMPOSSIBLE to achieve.

    Groupon has a deal for zazzle.com. 40 cards for $20 + free shipping. I think they also offer 70 and 100, but don't know the prices.

    Walgreens runs specials on cards throughout the year. I also get specials through Tinypic and Shutterfly. I'll try to post when I get codes. I've gotten cute stuff from all 3 places.

    Omigosh, @delino, thank you! This is a great deal!

    Thanks for commiserating, all! And @shell041783, I would totally love to check out your Etsy shop when you get it up and running!

    I used Sam's club last year. They have lots of layouts and were much less expensive. This year I will be using Shutterfly because I just got a $20 off from Target. I get free 8x8 book offers all the time for them too. I also got free mouspads, free address labels.

    I've been hoarding my Pamper's Rewards and there are a few Shutterfly ones on there, so I am going to try and use that, but that Zazzle deal is quite nice! I may have to check that out if my initial plan doesn't work. ;)
