Hi all!
I have been out of the scrapbook world for years now.I Come on here to get inspiration sometimes. Have made a few altered books as gifts ,but Still can not get myself motivated enough to start up again. I have had 2 of my 3 daughters get married, 2 graduate from college and one grand baby born. Needless to say, I need to print out a whole lot of pictures. Where is the cheapest place to have pictures printed and delivered to home? Hoping having prints will help me get off my butt and start up again. I have enough supplies, I didn’t seem to lose my hobby of collecting.
Thanks!

Cheap- Shutterfly app allows you unlimited free 4x6 prints.  You just pay shipping.
Snapfish app-allows you 100 free prints per month.

Best quality- Persnickity prints.  Although they are not cheap or free, I love the quality of the prints.  Worth the money to me.

Welcome back!  I'm no help since I print my photos at home on my Epson PictureMate PM-400 or Cannon Selphy.

I have been ordering my prints from Walgreens for delivery as that is the only way I get matte finish.  That is my favorite photo paper.  They run .10 cent prints all the time.  

Good Luck

Welcome Back!
I print a lot at home with my PictureMate, but when I need a lot of prints(like event or Vacation) i get my prints from Amazon, and I love them!

Chris, which machine do you prefer? I have heard the Epson is awesome, but the Cannon has some glitches. Have you found that to be true?

Welcome back! I am no help either as I print all my photos at home on my Epson Artisan.

I have printed my own photos for so many years, I couldn't tell you where to begin to order from.  I use HP Soft Gloss Plus photo paper because I like the matte finish.  They discontinued it about 6-7 years ago, but a photographer friend and I split a stash of  300 boxes that we bought off of E-Bay.  I'm down to about 8 boxes now...

Thank you all for taking your time to answer my question. For those of you who print them at home, i do have 2 decent printers, and like Vickie, I have a stash of my favorite photo paper. I have a few hundred photos to print, if not more. I’m not sure I want to wear and tear on my printer, the ink, or the time it will take to print so many. I will check out your suggestions.
If I get motivated, I will try to become more active. I do look at the gallery all the time. Talented people here. I’m also very happy that not too much has changed in recent years. My supplies are not really outdated. But I had to toss quite a bit. Dried ink pads, stamps that ripped peeling them off the plastic they cling to, Stickers and embellishments that no longer stick, but are still usable.

Thanks again!

Hi Gayle! Hope you do get motivated, can’t wait to see what you create!!!

Wow there were a couple options here I had not heard of! Good info!

I am another fan of Persnickity Prints! Their quality of prints is outstanding.
I have also used Costco on line and have a Selphy printer at home, in case I want to print something off immediately!

Hi Gayle, welcome back. Here is my two cents for prints. I love both the Shutterfly and Snapfish options. I always choose matte. I order both ways - upload from computer and via the app direct from my phone. I also highly recommend Epson quality.
