I use dotphoto online - I've used it for years and have always been happy. I buy bulk print packages and it seems cheap to me.
I use costco and walgreens in a pinch as well...

I use mpix.com ... they do have an option that if you edit them yourself you can opt out of any of their processing adjustments and it lowers the per print cost. =)

I print most of mine at home but, if I have a lot to print, I use dotphoto.com for the moment. I'm thinking of switching to scrapbookpictures.com just to see how they do.

The great thing about snapfish is you can pick them up at a local Walgreens and Shutterfly you can pick them up at Target.... kind of nice if you need them in a pinch. Not so cheap though, if you do Shutterfly to pick up at Target they charge you $.20 per print :(

I print mostly at home now, but I was a Costco girl before, I like being to upload and edit from home and then picking up while I am there for other stuff!
I also used the one hour for stuff that I had to get done now! I would put all my pics on a cd and then get them printed while I was shopping!

I use walgreens. They're everywhere down here. :) Once you sign up, they send you coupons for $0.15 a 4x6 print. (with an order over 100 ~ which, face it. It's not hard to do!)
Since there are so many Walgreens around here, I tried different ones that are close by, found one that had a bunch of certified photo specialists (not sure what that means...but their prints are awesome!) Enlargemnts aren't too bad either. 2- 5x7 for $2. :)

I've used Snapfish to send my digital photos to be printed at Walgreens. That way you get the online price for 4x6 prints and can pick them up the same day. :)

I just bought an at-home printer from Walmart. It was very reasonably priced ($88), but I can't speak on the quality yet since I haven't used it. I have used Costco quite a bit though, and I love their prints.
This is the "logic/explanation" I used to justify the purchase of the at-home printer . . . . when I print to Costco, I usually just print all of the photos I've taken - those that I intend to scrap and those that will end up hidden in an album. The at home printer allows me to only print the photos I intend to scrap. The rest can be stored on CDs or printed at a later date to put in an album. Hey, it worked on my mom and boyf. Lol!

I have both a nice photo printer and a cheap photo printer. The quality of the 250$ printer is SO much better than the $80 printer hands down. So if your printing mostly at home invest in a high quality printer. My cheap one does mostly just stuff off our main computer.
I have found it is much cheaper to do photos online (even with shipping). I have most of my photos done at winkflash. THey are 12 cents each and shipping is 99cents no matter the size of the order. Can't beat it. I keep my nice home printer for quick photos I need and special sizes I want on a layout.

I wait for 3 cent coupons for online places. They all have them at one time or another during the year. Then I go nuts and print hundreds. It's always enough to keep me scrapping until another sale. I find the codes online.

Please post the codes here when you find them!
I am always looking for a good deal and I usually only order a few times a year. I always iked SAMS Club in the states, since you spend an hour there anyway might as well upload your pics first! (they have good quality and are reasonanbly priced)

I use kodakgallery.com because they have an option to pick up in the Wegman's that is literally right across the street from my house & that's actually cheaper & faster than waiting for them to send it to me.
If I need a picture same-day, I go across the street to the kodak kiosk at the Wegman's and print them from my camera or a thumb drive.

Thanks for all the tips! I'm always annoyed with the fact I never had the picture printed at the time I want to scrap it. I need to get a printer for home...if anyone knows a good, reasonably priced model...let me know! xo

Yes, I like Clark too. However, Clark deletes your photos after 3 months. Therfore, I mostly use Snapfish. Snapfish, you can prepay for your prints and then they are cheaper per print. I figure, I eventually will buy that many pics anyway, so why not just prepay. I also always get matte finish. I think they look better and you don't get fingerprints when you are scrapping.
If I am in a rush, I upload to Snapfish and pick up at Walgreens.

I upload to Costco, too. I wish the interface for cropping were a little easier. But it's still pretty good.
