Man, isn’t it about time to dump this silly tradition? When cards were $2 or $3 fine, but now they’re up to $7-8!

Birthday cards, Wedding Anniversary cards, Mother's Day
and Father's Day cards, etc. are becoming too expensive.
Hallmark and others are cashing in on this and there is no
relief in sight. The OP is correct about this development.
These special days in people's lives deserve reasonable card
prices.

I haven't noticed prices but I honestly could give two shids about a card. Give me a good hug and/or handshake every day of the week over a card
Dollar Tree, baby. 50 cents and some of the humor cards are actually funny.
This.
There were only two "wife" Mother's Day cards, but since she doesn't have another husband I'm probably safe.
Buy a vintage lot of them online at Etsy or eBay. You can usually get a bunch of them on the cheap.
Dollar General, Dollar Tree, and Fareway all have reasonably priced cards.
Still a fairly cheap way to fulfill your obligation while avoiding any meaningful contact.
Amen.
The worst are the ones with glitter that gets all over your hands and clothes.
There oughta be a law! 😀

I hate them. I repeatedly ask my mom not to send them to our family. She still does it. Waste of money.
Things are tough
times are hard.
You ain't gett'in
no mother's day card...

Sometimes when I'm not feeling like buying a card, I'll write "Happy Birthday!" on a white piece of paper and put it in a white envelope like a poor and give it as a gift.
CSB.

That would mean more to me than a 7 dollar hallmark card
I'll also re-gift greeting cards that I can find that haven't been used before.
Enjoy your mom while she's still around.
I’ve been writing my own cards since I was five with no complaints. Them bitches still on the top of mom’s fridge. I was spitting bars.

I send a lot of cards. They’re fun. And a lot of them go to people that are too far away to handshake and hug.
I skipped the card a few years ago. Kids are grown and get their own. I said “you’re not MY mom and the kids get you cards.”
I still hear about it.
Have a card this year.

What kind of miserable, self-loathing prick hates getting a card from their mom?
I guess me. I think a phone call or in person visit means more than a Hallmark card.
I have a running gag with my wife, where if I or we get a card for something - bday, thank you, anything - I read it in the kitchen, give a quick “Aw, that’s nice,” and throw it directly in the recycling*. She often fishes it out to save.
*note I only do this if I’m sure there’s nothing nasty in there that might stain the card

The founder of Mother's Day tried to have it rescinded after it became commercialized. I will respect her wishes and not buy a card.

we will save special occasion cards for about 3 days and then they get tossed.
