I like the fancy/expensive cards...so I buy them after Christmas, for the following year.

I get mine from MD Anderson children with cancer design them and the proceeds benefit cancer research.

Would assume you have local stores to shop.

I get mine at Hallmark AFTER Christmas for a real low price.

how simple? have you tried wal mart or target? or if you have a printer, take a winter picture and send those on photo stock paper.

I picked up a box for Mom today I thought she'd like. City Rexall Drug. 1/2 price already, an averaged sized card, neither religious or cartoonish. Very pretty with four winter birds in foiled colors across the front. Original price had been $16.95 for 18 cards, 19 envelopes - I paid $8.48 and if she has a few left from last year or buys some for special friends at Dollar Store I think she'll have enough.

I look at the discount stores and the after Christmas sales at the card shoppes. Last one I bought were during the holiday season at TJ Maxx.

The last couple of years I've found the best cards at my local pharmacy, too! That's where I'll look first.

I like the cards at Target.

Thank you to everyone who offered a suggestion. I'll get some today.

My girls usually buy some for me either for Christmas or my birthday. They know I love the Lean'in Tree cards. They can be found at farm stores and other places.

I bought so many "after christmas sale" cards over the years that I don't need anymore...people have died, moved, don't send cards anymore ..and with the price of stamps I send less...with some free ecards are a good choice.

I found some at TJ Maxx. The store is in full swing for Christmas with tons of merchandise.

I like Leanin' Tree cards too, Marilyn Sue.

I get mine the first couple of days after Christmas at Target. Those are marked down to half-price or less. If you wait more than 2 days, the selection is slim to none.

Well, I ended up ordering mine from Peter Pauper Press via Amazon prime! They're a little bit artsy, but quite lovely.

I usually get more than I need from a few of the charities that I support.

Along with sheets of return address stickers: have enough on hand to last till I'm 125, I think.

Even some Hallmark stores have the simple ones available. I also received some nice ones from different charities. I check the different drug stores, and other places like Menards.

I don't buy cards. I make all of my cards for various holidays and occasions. I love making my own cards.

Walmart.

Peter Pauper has some cute ones, thanks for the info!

Some of my favorite cards were made by Caspari. I had one of a Santa holding twin fawns, I nearly swooned when I saw those in the store, ages ago. I kept one to frame, it hangs in my closet all year round.

if you have a Hobby Lobby they usually have real nice cards. And almose always have them 40% off.

I've bought a lot of them there.

Flamey, I love those Caspari cards, the small ones. If I didn't already have mine, I'd order there.

I used to send out possum Christmas cards and I bought them from an artist...and possum owner...in Washington state. They were expensive...about $3 apiece but since I don't do much for Christmas anyway, I didn't mind doing it. Then I got interested in donkeys and found donkey Christmas cards much more inexpensive on the internet. :D
