Well there's that to consider. Parenting means I write a lot of checks

Yeah, I guess I can spend $25 for literally years' worth of checks.

I have DC checks and while I hardly ever write checks, they bring me happiness when I do.

If you look at the difference in price per check and figure it's costing you that per month is it more palatable?

Just typing "$25" made it palatable! I paid more than that for two cocktails the other night!

Edit: And it turns out to be half off for new customers anyway.

I finally got new checks because I realized I was down to my last 5.

Which were from a box ordered over 9 years ago, because still had my old address. I don't write a lot of checks. Even freelance folks and crusty old roofers do square or similar these days (I put a lot of stuff like that on a credit that gives me cash back to my mortgage.)

I'm pretty sure I just bought a lifetime supply, but we'll see.

I write about 5 checks a year, for estimated taxes and because my mother refuses to even understand what PayPal is (my brother will not write my mom a check [for things like when we all chip in to buy a fancy anniversary gift for a family member or something], so he PayPals his portion to me, and then I write a check to Mom for the both of us). At this rate, I will die before it's time to get new checks with my married name on them. (Our 5th wedding anniversary is this year, and I'm still using checks that say "Lang.")

You can just buy new checks with your new name on them even though you haven't used up the old ones. It's allowed.

Noooooo.

I don't know why, but it feels like cheating to not use them up.
