They are even shipped totally free of charge. Just visit Moo.com’s Business Card page and scroll down to where it says “try a free sample pack.”
— You can get 250 free business cards from Vistaprint, but you’ll pay the $5.67-ish shipping charge. Your business cards will have some minimal Vistaprint advertising on the back unless you pay a $2.99 upcharge, but this is still a super cheap way to get some inexpensive business cards.
– Kodak Gallery is offering 50 free Mommy Cards. You can include a photo of your family and print text on both sides so that your contact information is readily available for giving to teachers, setting up playdates, etc. Once again, no coupon code is necessary but you will need to pay $3.99 for shipping.

About Carrie Rocha
A couple of months ago I ordered the calendar from VistaPrint & paid around $6 for shipping & I love it. I thought the quality was fine.
There are a lot of VistaPrint items that are free or almost free. Can you order more than one?
I think so as they aren’t limited to first-time customers.
I’m so happy you had the reminder on the Photoworks/Shutterfly move. I had forgotten about it! I was able to get 25 custom thank-you cards and a bunch of custom stickers for my kids’ upcoming birthday for 5 bucks after the $30 credit and the free shipping code. Thanks, Carrie!!!
Anybody know what I might being doing wrong….I’m trying coupon code: STPATPRNT at Snapfish..and i keep getting the message. The coupon you entered cannot be used with this order. Help!
GREAT deal on photo prints at snapfish.com: Enter code “PADDY2O” by March 21 to get 100 prints for $5 including shipping!
