Cheapest place to get photo cards?

Hi everyone
I've been getting into photography recently and would like print my own greetings cards (for birthdays, Christmas etc) using the pictures I've taken. This will be much cheaper than buying cards and also more personal. But I don't know where is the best place to get them printed. I've looked at some of the photo printing websites and the best prices I can find are 75p per card from Photobox and 58p per card from MyPix (although no envelopes from MyPix). Has anyone else investgated this or know of a better place to get photo cards printed?
Thank you very much!

  • Why don't you buy a pack of photo paper and print your own?
  • Unfortunately my printer doesn't print very good quality photos. Would the cost of paper and ink be cheaper though?
  • I'd have thought so, if you were planning on printing a good run. I'm afraid I'm not help on where to get them printed though, other than maybe looking at vistaprint? They're often cheap and have good offers on.

    If you have just one photo that you would like to use then Costco print 40 cards for about £12. They are really nice cards too. I don't think they
    allow you to mix and match though - which is a shame :(.
