This is actually hilarious, because I was shopping for cards as were a bunch of people, and there was a card for $6.99..no stickers, no music, no special snacks inside..nothing special..just maybe a puffy heart on the front!

Everyone around was saying how much cards have gone up! It is crazy!!!

DH and I save all of our cards from the past 12 years! I think it's crazy how much they charge for cards these days so I usually go to Party City or some other 50% off store to get them. I got a great deal from Cardstore.com this year - custom card with a photo of me and DH for $1.49 Shipped! And he absolutely loved it so it was $1.49 well spent! Chat Icon

I always go to the 50% stationary stores. Hate spending full price on cards, wrapping paper and gift bags.

Re: Overheard at the card store

I only buy cards at 50% off.
BJs does it
Party City does it too
50% off the list price.
I can't reconcile spending like $5 on a card.

No you're not an ahole, just sentimental. I love cards too. I still have a lot of the cards my grandmother gave me, comforting to see her handwriting. Just not the prices of cards these days, its nuts.
