Blue Chip Dividend Stocks

I realize there is a huge thread already on this and BigFella is the SME. I don't have time to read through that entire thread to pull out the info I need.
How do you limit your exposure to the per trade fee when buying these large dividend players? I currently have about $70k in a broad index fund that I DCA every month and DRIP. I was looking at potentially reallocating about $50k to a blue chip DRIP strategy. This is also in a non-taxed advantaged account. In my Roth IRA I have around $40k in a life cycle fund that I am interested in dropping due to the exorbitant expense ratio.
I know that the true power of these dividend players is in tax advantaged accounts but I was wondering if someone could provide some further insight. TIA

As much as their interface sucks, Computershare is probably the cheapest route to go.
It also depends on the company. XOM charges almost nothing. Kind of vague but I'm driving...

many large blue chip companies have plans where you can buy stock directly from them, I know XOM and JNJ have it. You can set up drip accounts through them. It's relatively easy, just do the initial paperwork and then send them money every month, no commission fee.
that'd be the cheapest way to go.
dude, transfer this to a vanguard fund
