Get it from DOLLAR TREE

I get my cards in the mail, from whoever is begging for donations. I use their cards and envelopes . I have no shame!

See if you can find a box in the dumpster.

“Well, we do have a selection of pressed and printed dryer lint.”

Well, you could get some 4×6 index cards, tape two together along one edge, write your message in pencil or ballpoint, and make your own envelope by folding a piece of printer paper that you stole from the office. But you’ll still have to pay for the stamp.

Tampa had a 39-cent shop. Lots of excellent cards. Just pick a pretty picture, open it up, scratch off the funny foreign words and write in, “Happy Birthday Mom”, or whatever…

Take a photo of the card and send that

He won’t likely find one. Maybe he should try to redo one he has received . . . that is, if he has actually received any. I suspect his cheap ways are a family thing.

He knows what and how he is. Whoever receives a card from him knows that, too.

If you’re that cheap, you won’t send a card.

What, he’s buyin’ a card to send to himself

Make your own.

Send a thought. It’s the thought that counts

Greeting cards are way too expensive!

Get a white piece of paper, fold it in half. Problem solved cheep-o.

I always had trouble finding a card for “ex-wife still in contact but not close friends” category.

Maybe some construction paper and some crayons. Then you can say you gave it the personal touch.
