Start paying closer attention to all of your credit/debit processing fees.
Found my local water company charging almost $4 for processing my debit card. Looked on their website and found the local office. Found they accepted payment there. Started paying by check via the mail. Stamp is a lot cheaper. Never once had an issue.
Book of 100 checks is probably ten bucks. You can also get a sheet of three checks printed at your bank, often for free.
