Does anyone still purchase greeting cards?

Old ladies.

The wife and I were late to one of her family's birthdays a while back and had to stop by Earthsaver's for the gift they wanted and we just HAD to make sure we got a card for it too. Well we didn't have time to make a 2nd stop, so "Oh, look!" she exclaims as she notices by the cash register there's a selection of Earthsaver's brand birthday cards. Two birds with one stone I think optimistically, until I look at the receipt and realize that flimsy card, that had nothing special about it, cost $7.99.

I even went on a rant at the birthday party, to the wife's displeasure, that we should all agree to abolish the card tradition. Why don't we agree to spend that extra money on the gift instead of on a piece of trash nobody cares about. I think everyone would rather get a $55 gift instead of a $50 gift + piece of paper.

Dollar General... two for a dollar. Will get one for mothers day and one for wife's birthday then throw it in my office desk drawer until October.

Eta: especially when you have to buy multiple cards...DG
Go to walgreens and 2.50-6,7,8 bucks per card.

Yes.

Instead I used an online template and made them for free.

And what did you print it on? What envelope did you put it in?

Printed on cardstock or photo paper in color. And they have different templates that are different sizes. You can pick from plenty of sizes that'll fit in various size envelopes.
