Mail-order checks break the bank

Order your checks from a company that uses recycled paper and non-toxic inks. So far the best company I've found for this is The Check Gallery, Inc. If you're about to open a checking account, don't order new checks through the bank. Instead, use the starter checks they have to give you to order from a mail-order company. This should save at least $5 on one box of 200 checks and more on re-orders. [I don't work for them, really.]
