Thanks everybody! I checked Walgreens, and they were still running the coupon for $5 off if you spend $15. I prefer matte pictures, and they only do those by mail (just like the other places I’ve tried). So I had to pay $6 for shipping. But I got the pictures for 12 cents each, as opposed to 15 cents if I had picked them up in the store. I got 114 4×6 pics, and 7 5x7s. Including shipping it came to $20. Not bad at all

too bad my memory is fried, because the latest Real Simple had a chart comparing prices for various sizes. If you’re just getting 4×6 walmart was the cheapest at 9 cents, that I do remember!

Personally, I like matte finish and only certain companies offer that and only by mail order so I have to pay shipping.

I’d say do a quick search for promo/coupon codes!

Thanks everybody! I live within biking distance of two walgreens, so I’m going to give that a try. Also, I got a tip on Twitter from Rants ‘n Reviews about using Adorama – I had never heard of them, but they have 5 x 7 prints for 35 cents, so I think I’ll try that one too. Glad I asked!

I know that CVS currently has 50 prints for free when you sign-up.... they usually have good deals on it.

I’m with the others. Walgreens frequently has good deals, and they are really quick as well. You can just upload them to their website online for free and print them at the nearest walgreens. Sometimes there is limits, but if you live in a place where there is more than one Walgreens close (there are 3 with in bike riding distance to me!) you can just send some to each one and still get the deal. Also, if you get a Sunday paper, there are always coupons in the coupon section.

We use Walgreen’s and have really like the price and quality of their service. We just ordered 90 prints and the total cost came to $11. That seemed like a good deal to us!

(Not sure when GC last checked, but we just got a $5 off for prints, when you place an order of $15 or more.)

I don’t know what’s a good deal to you but Walgreens has some good prices from time to time and can mail your prints to you for a sort of reasonable rate
but no big sales on right now

Paid Twice has been doing a lot of comparisons of this sort, check out her posts on the subject.
