    I've found small local independent shops are the best to stock up. There used to be a celebration / fancy dress / baloon shop near me who also had a significant (though badlly advertised) card selection. Some great designs and quality and none were more than a pound. Even the larger cards. 

    Sadly, as with so many similar shops, I arrived one day to find it closed. 

    We have just bought a small standard condolence card to a relative which cost £3.75 at Sainsburys, and first class postage is £1.70 for a small 40 gram letter. So well over £5 in total!  :o

    • The poor only have expenses.
    • The middle class buy liabilities they think are assets.

    Yes, even some of the cards in supermarkets are very expensive now!

    I have no connection with this company apart from being a customer.  I buy in bulk every 12 months or so , enough cards to see me througfh the next year. Cards start at around £1:35 each.  Delivery is free if you buy over a certain number.

    Cancer Research shops near me have cards for 99p to £1.49. I use them to stock up on birthday cards once a year.
