Go to our supplier, Nancy's Artworks and check out their postcard section. They have 20 for $2.50ish. You can get blank ones with just a PC tools design, "thank you for recent order", "Thank you", many different ones. That would be cheaper than templates. And, they actually have the perforated postcards with a given template too. I just feed the postcards through my printer (depends on what kind of printer you have).
Target, Hobby Lobby, and HellMart also carry plain cardstock if you have a creative touch.

hmmmI just got robbed! I thought Staples would be reasonably priced just as Office max but $5.99 compared to $21.99 Yikes that's a huge difference! What kind of post cards were they? perforated or not? Mine are perforated and almost look like photo paper (very glossy) which I didnt' really care for but they only had two kinds and the other had a line separating the card in two halves and I did not want that kind. I will definitely have to shop around next time!

PostcardYou can get 400 postcards, 4 cards per sheet for 5.99 at Sams Club. That is where I always buy them. I use the postcards to make up recipe cards for all of the guests to take at shows with the recipe I demonstrate. I also put the PC supplies I used on the back of the postcard. Guests really appreciate the recipe and they have my name and phone number right on the recipe card.
