We get ours free from the bank we use now. Before, I always ordered them from Image checks. We usually got a BOGO deal. Now I rarely use checks so it isn't as big of a deal.

I think I used Checks Unlimited last time I ordered them. Like swishina I haven't bought checks in about 5 years. These days I only write out maybe 5 or 6 a year.

I don't order tons, but when I do there is usually free shipping deals, BOGO on a box of checks, etc. through checks unlimited or other places online. I'm particular and only like the carbon copy side tear checks, and I get sucked into the huge variety of backgrounds vs what the bank offers. So I pay haha

I have also never heard of being required to purchase checks from the bank, I open checking accounts and just receive the 4 or 5 they give you, and then I'm on my own.

I have just been comparison shopping for checks myself. I am still using the original bank ones from when we moved here in 2006. I thought I might need to order them this year, but I think I can hold off until next year. Back in the days before debit cards and online banking, I used to order the ones on recycled paper supporting World Wildlife Federation.
