I'm having a hard time finding good affordable postcards. The ones I love are a bit too costly for me. Any suggestions for good places that sell affordable ones? I'm eager to get started but without going broke! (The postage will handle that, lol!)

I found some on Amazon that were decently priced (about $0.20 each). They are usually in themed boxes of 50 or 100. I got one for booklovers, most of them are good, though a few had boring photos.
I've gotten several on clearance at different stores, A large pack of them. I usually just look in the clearance aisles at different stores. Or even in the craft section or school supplies.
I love ordering postcards from Etsy. I like supporting small businesses and getting unique designs. But also there are some shops on there that will send a variety of postcards for pretty inexpensive. I've ordered quite a few times.

Fun little bundles of different mailing/stationary things! Like card, I've not thought about post cards though!
You can print your cards on Vista Prints. Find a picture you like online or one you have. They are reasonably fast delivery. They do very well with color or black and white. People on Postrossing.com use them a lot.
I love to look in op shops (thrift stores) for affordable postcards. I have found some great postcards there including those books of cards - say 20 on a particular theme. I've also bought some great postcards and books of postcards from Ebay.
