At least once a week, I get an email from a reader asking where the best deals are on check-printing.
Typically, the VERY best deals are for new orders. So, if you use a lot of checks, you may need to take advantage of more than one of the deals on this page. Of course, as more and more of us more to electric bill-pay, the need for checks diminishes.
Whether you just need a few checks a month, or a whole book, here is a run-down of the best deals available.
Best Deal for A Lot of Checks: Checks Unlimited (New Customer)
If you go through a lot of checks, Checks Unlimited has the best deal for you. First-time customers can get four boxes of checks for just $16.50 ($4.13 per box), with FREE shipping & handling. If you prefer duplicates (I always get duplicates just in case I forget to record a check!), you will pay $19.50 for four boxes.
Just use the coupon code F4NB at checkout — which entitles you to free shipping and handling, as well!
- Go to Checks Unlimited
- Click where it says “Over 110 Great Check Designs“
- Select the format you want – Singles or Duplicates
- Select the number of boxes you want (4 is the best deal)
- Enter F4NB and click the yellow “Apply Coupon Code” button
- Click Continue
- Enter your check information & click continue (Note that you don’t have to enter your email address!)
- At checkout, be sure to opt out of any special offers, including EZ Shield Plus – you just want your checks!
- Select “Standard” shipping to get your shipping for FREE (it’s the last option)
Best Deal for One or Two Boxes of Checks –4Checks (New Customer)
If you need two boxes of checks or fewer, your best bet is to order from 4Checks. New customers can get two boxes of checks for just $5.50 plus $3.90 for “handling”, for a total of $9.40 or $4.70 per box.
If you prefer duplicates, you pay a total of $10.40 after handling, or $5.20 per box.

The last time I printed checks, I went with Costco – their prices were competitive, but I still paid $14 for two boxes.
Note: These prices are current to October, 2014 — I just did all the research for myself because we had to get new checks for our new checking account. Please let me know if you are reading this post at a later date, and find that some of the codes don’t work anymore. Most of these are “forever” codes, but I will be happy to help you track down newer codes if any are expired when you go to use these.
This was the perfect reminder that I needed to order new checks! Thanks!
I am excited that Discover Bank Cashback Checking offers free checks. I never realized how expensive checks can be through the bank.
