Over the last couple of weeks, I have made a serious dent in printing out my Daphne digital photos without making a dent in my wallet. I had barely printed out anything since she was born, but I finally decided that it was time to do something with her beautiful photos. Call it my latest spider in my freezer. :)
Since I was new to all of these online photo services, I was able to take advantage of some awesome free print deals. Here's a recap of what I've done so far and still plan to do, just in case you find yourself swimming in jpgs this summer, too.
Snapfish - By far the best deal I found, I used the instructions here to get 150 free prints and free shipping. The instructions worked perfectly for me. I am still awaiting the arrival of my prints, which I ordered about a week ago, but I guess I can't expect quick delivery AND a bunch of free prints.
Shutterfly - 50 free 4x6 prints and a free 11x14 collage poster that is very easy to create here. You do have to pay for shipping of these freebies, which was about $6 in my case. Shipping was quick, and the quality of the prints and poster is very nice. I probably wouldn't have messed around with creating a collage poster if it hadn't been free, but I am happy with the way it turned out.
CVS - 50 free 4x6 prints here if you have a CVS ExtraCare card. Upon registering, you will be emailed a code for this offer. It may end up in your spam folder, like it did for me. With this offer, you can choose to pick up your photos at a CVS or have them delivered (at an additional cost). I chose to pick them up. They were not ready when the system said they would be, but they were ready when I stopped back the next day. I will warn you, though, that I found the CVS photo center website to be a huge pain to use. I lost everything that I had in my cart at one point. I would never use this as my go-to digital print solution.
PictureWagon.com - I had not heard of this one until I came across their ad in Parents magazine. 50 free prints here. I have not used them yet but plan to upload photos and try them out this week.
PhotoWorks - 25 free prints here. This is another one I want to try this week.
Do you have any other tips for getting cheap or free prints? Which photo service is your favorite?

I, too, am swimming in un-developed photos. Thanks for the great info! I'd tried snapfish before, but it's wonderful to know about all of the awesome deals and services that are out there.
Glad I could help! I'll be sharing more as I come across them.
Here is a website I came across for 30 free prints and any additional prints are only 8 cents!
** I love the blog!! :)
