How can I get free or discounted checks for my bank account?
There is no reason you must buy the bank's printed check. There are many places both physical stores and on line the offer check printing.  From what I've seen, the requirement is the use of a magnetic ink the bank's equipment can properly scan. I may not even be correct there if they've all gone fully optical. The checks you buy on line are a fraction of the cost the bank would charge you.  Edit - On searching, I find VistaPrint offers free checks. I've not ordered checks from them, but I suspect free orders require you pay shipping. I've used VistaPrint for business cards, promotional items, and holiday cards. I can say, I've been pleased with their quality.  Update - The free checks from VistaPrint are no longer available.
