Bargain Moose

Like most people, my camera is overflowing with Christmas pictures, so it’s time to print and save!  Straight from the bargain finders over on the hot deals forum are the photo centres that are offering a discount on prints right now.

Where can you find great prices on prints?

• Shoppers Drug Mart – $0.10 per 4×6 print until 6th January, 2012

• Photolab.ca – $0.10 for each 4×6 prints with a minimum of 100 photos until 12th January, 2012

• Costco Photo Centre – $0.09 for 4×6 prints (unknown expiry)

• Black’s – Get 50 6 x 8 for prints for $5 until 3rd January, 2012

At Black’s the regular price of 6×8 prints is $0.39 cents, so on 50 prints, you save $0.29 per print or a total of $14.50 on your order of 50. The larger 6×8 prints would make a nice thank you card of even a photo invitation to an upcoming birthday.

Thanks to Mooser Cecilia for posting all of these photo centre deals on the hot deals forum!

Take your little ghosts, princesses and cowboys into Blacks until 1st November, 2011 for a free Halloween portrait.

• Click here to find a Blacks location

You can get a free 6×8 portrait of your kids in costume (or without) with a Halloween border of your choice. Love the pic? Feel free to order additional copies to share with friends and family.

Limit of one print per customer. Maximum two kids in one portrait. See an Expert Associate in store for more details about this promotion.

So, why the limit of two kids in one portrait? The photos is taken on the same background as passport photos, so the space is rather small.

I’ll probably be taking my kids to the mall for trick or treating on Halloween, where there is a Blacks store, so we’ll probably take a candy break and get a nice pic while the kids are in costume.

Thanks to Mooser Jeanine for sending us this deal. Get 25 free prints at Blacks when you try out their new photo system online.

• Get 25 Free Prints from Blacks Canada

Save those back to school memories with a free 6 x 8 portrait with a school themed border. There is a limit of one print per customer and maximum 2 kids in one portrait. Why? Because they shoot the portrait in the same space as the passport pictures, so there’s just no room!

I took the kids for the free portrait on Father’s Day and next time we are at the mall, we’ll definitely stop by for an updated pic!
