Works for Me Wednesday for other great tips like using google calendar, roasting pumpkin seeds, and uses for the dishwasher. Great stuff!
I have been using Costco Photo Center for as long as it's been available and we've been members. Then I went digital (camera wise) and got a little lazy with printing pictures. I then discovered a few years ago that I could simply upload my photos to their website and order away! This works best if you have high speed
internet. The cost and quality....
incomparable. I know there are other places like
Shutterfly, etc..but I just really like Costco.
Recently we decided to take our own pictures of our youngest daughters soccer team instead of paying the high price of someone else doing them. I must say they turned out great. I was able to upload all the girls' pictures, and individually choose sizes on one screen. I could edit them and make sure it worked with the size photo I was using. We ordered wallets (.39 for 4), 5 x 7's (.39), 8 x 10's (1.49) and we're doing collages (2.99) as well. The parents loved the fact that they hardly paid anything and got great pics. We live close enough to Portland (35 minutes), that I pick them up there to save on tax, only if I have other things to do there, otherwise I might as well pay tax and save gas.
I hope to do this with school pictures as well (since we
homeschool). All you need is a membership card and then go to
www.costco.com and click on their photo center. Oh, the other perk....they're ready in an hour! How easy is that! If I was really on top of my game I would have taken pictures of the screen throughout the ordering process to show you how easy it was. Maybe when I order the collages.

I use Sam's Club. It works great to do this. I love it. It is so much easier this way. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI use Costco for about 99% of my photo printing. If there is a good sale on line, I might order there, but 1/2 the time I order from an online site, I am disappointed in the quality.
