I uploaded some photos to Costco’s photo center and ordered 4×6 prints at 17 cents each. Picked ’em up at the local Costco and they looked pretty darn nice. Costco looks to be the best game in town for digital prints, much better quality than a home printer and costs less than any other printing place (possibly costs less than doing it at home, in fact).
Next I went to Target to get some inexpensive frames for the photos, but for some inexplicable reason while they have a couple dozen different frame types and hundreds of frames in stock, there were only three or four 4×6 frames, no more than one of any single type, all hiding behind other frames. Everything else was 5×7 or larger. Either someone came in and just grabbed every 4×6 in sight, or they aren’t refreshing their stock very quickly.
While I was disappointed on frames, I did at least find some solid colored shirts I like at the insane price point of $5.99 each. Target is really an amazing place, why didn’t I know this before now?
My photographer friend recommends
Pic ‘N’ SaveBig Lots… Apparently they’ve got cheap frames.If you want to spend a bit more on a nicer frame, she recommends Aaron Brothers, but I don’t know if there are any of those in Boston…
Have you tried walmart? They charge 12c for a 4×6 print, and I bet they would beat target’s tshirt prices. They might even have a better selection of frames.
WalMart is evil and doesn’t print anything that they thing looks too professional. Costco is a very good company. WalMart is hurting America.
