I bought new checks some months back I think I payed about $30 for them I just wanted checks with my current address since I've been here 7 years already 😂.
I was talking with a customer the other day and she said she just spent $150 on checks. Her husband asked her how many checks does she write... She said about 3-4 a month 😂.

I was thinking I was doing pretty well at not writing checks but then in the past week: 1. Check to local parochial school in response to an appeal from neighbor's kids. 2. Check to the school where I'm taking theology classes toward a lay preaching license- not a giant accredited school and I'm not even sure they take plastic. 3. Checks to two of my grandkids' 529 accounts. I was able to use the brokerage app to deposit them by taking pictures of the checks but I still had to write the checks. 4. Check to the ministry school's Scholarship Fund.
I'm not quite as check-less as I thought.

- Check to the guy who stained and painted our porch extension ramp and stairs
- Check to the guy who cuts our lawn
- Check to the exterminator coming tomorrow
- And, of course, my infamous check deposit to the CU that went to an old address where they no longer were (got returned FINALLY)
Many small businesses do a surcharge if you want to use CC. The caregiving service that I am using at the end of the month is one of those. So is the painter, lawn person, and exterminator.

The small businesses here also charge a surcharge. I pay them through my banks online banking. They get a check, but it's issued by the bank. I average two checks a month.

Mine want payment upon completion. They don't accept "the check's in the mail" either. which is how my bank's online banking works!

The two checks I write are to neighbor for mowing or snow removal and to cleaning company.
Everyone else has billed me, so I send them a check via online bill pay.

I am impressed with those of you getting free checks. This question isn't for those getting the bank to print them, etc. Those of you getting a free box, are you paying a monthly fee for the account? Nope. That’s free too
