Cards

So this was going to be about shopping cards. However, I've realized it can be three-fold: shopping cards, business cards, and writing cards.

  1. Shopping Cards- for some reason I've always been really reluctent to sign up for them. Mostly because my parents were always really reluctent. However, as a college student and trying to buy groceries, etc, I've come to the conclusion that it's good to have store cards. You save 1% or whatever, and it doesn't take any time to sign up. Supposedly they will mail me coupons, too. I also just enjoy having them on my keys- it makes me feel more independent.
  2. Business Cards- I'm starting to realize more and more the value of having business cards. It seems professional to hand them out, and makes me feel more credible. It's also a good way to give people my contact information. I definitely need to make some more of them. I tried to get some from Bose, but apparently that's bad for keeping costs down.
  3. Writing Cards- I've learned that I'm much more apt to send mail on pretty and expensive cards than I am on loose leaf. I've been going to Black Ink in Harvard Square whenever I'm down in that part of town. It's such a cute store! I like papyrus too, but it's just so expensive, and not quite as unique. We'll see how my card writing goes.
