Argh this is driving me nuts. I want to have some photos printed and Costco has the best prices and the formats I want, but I'm not a member

Posted by Guigue (aka Guigue) Nov 6 '08, 08:07

It costs like 3X as much everywhere else and I heard really good things about Costco photo processing techniques. Plus, they have all the weird formats I want, but I really have no other needs for a membership number...

I know they do guest memberships for a day. Try that? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 08:28
We use Kodakgallery (and yes, Costco is good but I like Kodak better). Ending today you can get 4x6 for 10 cents and you can pick them up at CVS - oblique Nov 6, 08:19 7
- I'm sure Kodak is good but they don't have a lot of choices for bigger formats... -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 08:28 5
  - The other site that I've heard recommended by some more discerning photo people I know is Adorama -- (link) - oblique Nov 6, 08:31 4
    - Here's the kicker: I'm in Canada! :) -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 08:38 2
      - Just buy the Costco membership. You'll save enough on the photos to probably pay for it and you'd be suprised what things you really can buy in bulk - oblique Nov 6, 08:40 1

    - My first thought was that they make scratch and sniff! (the now with odorama nm!) -- nm - Amy Nov 6, 08:37
- I use several, Kodak, our local grocery stores (HEB) and Snapfish...have gotten some good specialty items from snapfish -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Nov 6, 08:23

- Or join, the membership pays for itself. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 08:10 6
  - for me it's not worth it to join. I can't go through anything in bulk. -- nm - loosilu Nov 6, 08:16 2
    - I don't really go there for food. I get my cleaning products and what not there. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 08:31

  - I live in downtown Montreal and I don't have a car, so I'd never go... -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 08:11
They also have enormous boxes of Cheez-Its. Pull the trigger. -- nm - TFox Nov 6, 08:09 6
- I went to Costco for one thing last night (a bag of fried onions). - kelly Nov 6, 08:18 5
  - a ham. heh -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 08:24 4
    - ??? -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 08:27 3
      - It just funny that you go in for a bag of onions and come out with a whole ham - oblique Nov 6, 08:28 2
        
        "Oh, you know what I totally forgot I need? A HAM!!!" - Cuzzin Todd Nov 6, 08:34
        
        I walked out of there with dinner for the next 3 weeks!! :) -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 08:34
