Christmas Cards

Periodically, one of the popular internet photo sites sends me coupon codes for free stuff. I rarely take advantage because usually that "free" coffee cup with your face on it will end up costing $15 in shipping, and I'd rather spend $2 on a coffee mug without my face on it. This fall, however, I received a code for 10 free cards. So I made Christmas cards. In September. And I ordered my 10 free cards, paying $6 and change in shipping (which is ridiculous for mailing a few cards, but still a deal). In November I got another code and ordered another 10 cards. Now in December I'm short Christmas cards for everyone on my list so I logged on to order more. For 20 more cards they wanted $45.20!  I find this ridiculous. Over $2 per card!! Way to take advantage of the holiday season, Shutterfly. I have a few more days to see if they get a better deal going and then some people on the list are getting plain old dollar store cards with no photos. You'll know I love you if I share my "bargain" with you. :)
