Need a new bank

May 29th, 2008 at 04:00 pm

I need to find a new bank that ffers free checks. I just went and ordered new ones and they are going to cost me $20. OK, so it isn't a huge amount, but still, paying for checks bugs me when other banks offer them for free. When I mentioned this to the woman at my bank, she goes "No they don't." Uh, yeah they do. Wa-Mu: free checks FOR LIFE!! Unfortunately there are no WaMu's around here. Bleh.

Spendings:
$20 for new bank checks
$24.52 balance due on old car insurance
$15 co-pay to Dr. from last month
$120 Student Loans
$10 meds
$410 COBRA enrollment and 1st month coverage Frown

Will also pay phone bill and electric bill later today, but I might need to buy money roders for them later if I can't pay via phone.

I know it is all for necessary stuff, but it still kills me to spend this much in one day. Plus, added to the $250 I spent yesterday?? EEK! Money is getting low, quickly, and I still haven't heard anything new about that damn phone interview.

STRESS STRESS STRESS!!!

    You can buy checks from magazine inserts. They are much more reasoanble than banks. One company is called CHECKS IN THE MAIL.

    You can try a company called CHECKS IN THE MAIL. The ads usually come in the Sunday sales ads and they are alot more reasonable than the banks checks.

    I use WAMU and rarely, if ever, go to the brick and mortar bank; I do it all online. Deposits can be done by mail.

    I usually get two boxes (that will last me more than a year) from Checks in the Mail for like $10.

    Agreed. The frugal rule is don't buy checks from the bank. Wink

    Ditto - Don't buy checks from the bank!
    I get mine from Costco, but they can also be ordered from Current (which I think goes by Checks by Mail).
