who has best deal on photo prints?

**ml2620** · 03-17-2011, 04:45 PM

I'd like to get prints of a large number of photos (over 1000). Where and how can I get the best deal on this? Coupons, promotions, Walmart, CVS, snapfish?

Where have you found the best deal on photo prints?

I have steadily been processing over 5000 prints for about a year now. The cheapskate in me refuses to pay a great deal for them. I have signed up with Snapfish, Shutterfly, CVS, Walgreens, Rite-Aid and a few other photo processing sites. Whenever one has a super great deal or offers free prints, I take advantage of their deal and order. I have several different accounts with Snapfish and Shutterfly and order under each account with each new deal.
Not any one site has been any better than another. They all have pretty much offered the same deals, just at different times. The one thing I will say is Artscow.com is great, but are very slow about delivering. At times it has taken up to two months for me to get products from them.

price wise what is a great deal...I think the usual around here is between $.25 and $.27 per print.

Judy, I was wondering about that same thing, a good baseline price. CVS just offered a special of 40 prints for .17 each. Now seeing your comparitive pricing I think that was a good deal.

I only order in large groups if I can get the price per picture at or below $0.10 per print (shipping included if in-store pick-up is not available).

Our local Sam's and Costco's everyday price for prints is $0.17. CVS, Walgreen's and Rite-Aid's everyday price is $0.29 per print if you want it right then. If you choose to pick it up later that charge $0.19 per print.

Lately Walgreen's has been sending out emails with discount codes for prints. Last week it was $5 for 50 prints with in-store pick-up. A few weeks ago it was $3 for 30 prints, etc...

If you pre order 600 or more prints through Shutterfly, they are 9 cents each.

artscow.com When you sign up with them the offer a large amount of prints for free...when I signed up over a year or two ago..I got something like 1200 prints for free. Although I think you have to do them in increments. Like you get 100 free between this date and that date...then the next set after that date...You just pay shipping...and shipping is from china or japan...but either way it's a good deal! They have all sorts of free promos that you get when you sign up and then they send emails on a regular basis with free promo codes for items too!
