looking to get new checks (finally ran out of the ones i got from the bank when i opened my checking account). i know i can pretty much pay for everything electronically, but i just wanted to have a few checks handy in case i ever do need one.

i thought all banks give them out for free along with their free checking, if they dont, you can get them at costco for less than $5 or something.

I guess I'm just inexperienced. I thought you had to get your checks from the bank (isn't there certain information that they need to have? :confused: ).

your current check has the routing number and the account number, that is about it
i guess the address should match your account info

you can buy checks anywhere

Just call the bank and ask them what they can do for you. We get ads in with the coupons every week for checks and things too. You can get them anywhere, just have to provide your bank account and touring info and such to whoever issues them. Can even get your own personalized ones at some places but I'm sure that's not the cheap way to go.

That was going to be my recommendation.

THat money's gotta come from somewhere and I hate subsidizing other people's checkwriting...

Well, I actually don't really care, to be honest...

But yes, Costco is cheapest per check
