While it may seem strange that you can save money by shopping online considering your have to pay extra for shipping, in the case of digital pictures, it's true. Buying pictures online is a unique situation because online printers are facing such stiff competition that they are all discounting prices and offering discounts on shipping that it benefits you more than you would imagine!
Since you're obviously interested in having your pictures printed online, you're almost ready to start saving money.
Here are my top 3 ways to buy digital prints of your pictures online, all based on my personal experience.
1. Find a coupon or ad.
If you don't have one, find a coupon or advertisement that lists what you can get free from a particular printer. Many times these ads come in the form of banners or pictures that rotate text saying something like, "12 Cent Pictures, 99 Cent Shipping, Printed and Shipped Today!" Normally I wouldn't recommend clicking ads like this, these can actually save you money. The online printing company can see that you clicked that ad and they'll send you to the page that has the special offer.
2. Use recommendations.
If you can find a website that recommends a certain online photo printer, check that out. It is better to have a recommendation (even if you don't know the person who recommends them) than just searching and buying from the company with the best website.
3. Don't overpay.
You should never pay more than about 12-14 cents per picture. That is the average daily price. You might be able to get something like 20-30 free prints from a company, but the daily regular price should be in the twelve to fourteen cent range.
Using those 3 tips I've bought more than 500 digital pictures online and couldn't be happier to be saving money!
