Can you get these at the 99 cent store? That is where I buy my holiday cards @ 10 for a 99 cents. Or if it is a tight week, I will just go to Hallmark.com and send the FREE e-card offered there.

I managed to snag a pack of 16 in the dollar bins at target. Christmas cards don't hang around for more than a week so there's no point in spending a lot on them.
