Are you ready?

Are you ready for Christmas?

Or do you still have some loose ends to tie up?

Perhaps I can help.

Last night I bought 172 christmas cards at Hallmark for only $28!* A friend did the math, and apparently that's only $0.16 each! (So much better than the average $1.) I generally wait till the last week of January (which is usually when Hallmark marks down all remaining Christmas stock to 90% off). But, with this being our first year in a new town (which seems to be bursting at the seams), I was nervous there wouldn't be any left. But, there was a pretty good selection still, so next year I'll wait.

The cards I bought last year (which were 90% off from Bed, Bath & Beyond) were plain jane.  But not this year!  They are ALL either textured, or have something dangling on them, or have a 3-d appliqué!  (And what's very important - none of them require extra postage!)

Perhaps you don't send as many Christmas cards as we do.  But, I bet your budget would still appreciate the savings!

* Note - I also had crown rewards that that I used to bring down the purchase price.
