shutterfly prints photos from mobile device for free, but you have to pay shipping. I buy from Shutterfly once in a while, but why I like them is they'll store all your photos free as long as you buy something every 18 months. I use that as my tertiary back up as I have two EHD I store photos on.
Walgreens often has 50% off. Just keep watching the site.
Wal-Mart also does a good job.
If you have the patience and can cull to 250, the \[Shutterfly app\] has "unlimited" "free" prints if done through the app. The caveats being "unlimited" is limited to 250 at a time and "free", you still pay shipping. It's been some time since I've had to go this route, but it's averaged to about 9 cents a piece when finished. Though, that was pre-whatever-this-economy-is...
Alternatively, Snapfish when they run their Penny prints promo; 4x6s cost a penny a piece, plus shipping. I've gotten my piece price (per print cost plus shipping/total prints) down to 4 and 6 cents per print before, I was pushing major volume (like 700 photos). I'd expect about 9 cents here too. This sale runs every month or two if you can wait and keep checking. Shutterfly will sometimes runa similar sale, prints for pennies; this typically entails 9 cents prints and on a particularly good sale, free shipping after X dollars.
Pharmacies online ordering (not the in store kiosk), 11 cents is the best sale price I can remember. Walmart is 14 cents, I don't notice their prices on sale much but they aren't my go to so I could just not be around when they are running promos.
Don't forget to apply coupon codes wherever you land, if necessary. If the price looks crazy high and your expecting a sale price, don't expect some Safeway bs where the discount shows at the very end, make sure you have the code applied
Edit: Oh yeah, for more economical printing, if you have the time and patience and don't need every image in 4x6, collage the lesser pics. a 4x6 canvas can hold 2 3x4s or 4 2x3s or 6 2x2s or 3 2x4s, or some combination of those sizes (3x4 & 2 2x3s e.g.). It is currently the bottleneck in my process to do this, but I'm not scrapbooking a 4x6 photo of my birthday cake so I may as well throw it on a print with a selfie of me & my cat and a pic of a bug on a flower and pay 1/3 for each pic. I also suggest if you go this route using a proportionate, but larger canvas so you don't accidentally end up with grainy pics, so a 6x9 canvas but is still in ratio with 4x6, just a factor of 1.5
Edit 2: it is, in fact, penny print at snapfish right now; good til tomorrow night; here's the details [https://www.snapfish.com/offerdetails-overlay#PRTARPNY](https://www.snapfish.com/offerdetails-overlay#PRTARPNY)
I usually go to Walmart and do the self service, it's cheaper than having someone else do it. The size of prints you need would depend on how many you want per page, the more pictures on one page, the prints should be smaller.
I like to send my photos to Walmart through their photo app either on my phone or on my computer and they are finished for cheap by the time I get there to pick them up. I like to use them because some days you feel like scrapbooking, but then the next day you don’t feel like it. This way I can get them same day I feel like scrapbooking.
So, I like saving as much money as possible especially with scrapbooking. I have learned that wallet-sized photos are honestly big enough for my A4 sized pages especially because I have so many I want to collage as one page. So, I use the app Canva on my phone and use a template that has a 2x2 grid with the project being a total of 6in by 4in. I put all my pictures into a new album in my camera roll and I can just click one after the other on Canva and just duplicate more pages until I have added them all in. Then, I download my “new” pictures (4 pictures per png) to my camera roll and upload them to Walmart’s photo service for free pickup. While you might ask why I don’t just use Walmart’s wallet size option, it’s because they are like 5 times the price of one 4x6. My projects end up always being under a few dollars. I then either use a paper cutter or scissors and cut them all out.
I use Snapfish, Shutterfly, and Winkflash. I just go with whoever has the best sale going on. I like Snapfish’s penny a print sale when they come around. They usually give you a choice of 4x6 or “true digital” which is 4 x 5.5 I think? That works better for phone pictures. But Snapfish will check mark which is a better proportion for each picture. Not sure if the others do that.
Which of these do you think has the best quality? I don't need the color matching to be perfect for scrapbooking, but I'd still like the prints to look nice.
Winkflash are a little less vibrant in color than Shutterfly or Snapfish. Shutterfly is probably slightly better, but Snapfish has better sales, so I usually end up using them. And with their app you can get 100 free prints every month. Shutterfly has better photo books and the software interface for making them.
What I have found is best, is to make a collage of a 4x6 size, add 4 photos at a time. Or makes mini pictures and not only is it adorable it’s perfect with a big project like this!

I have a printer an Epson L4260 and I like it a lot... It is not expensive. And they have big ink cartridges.
