Free photo printing or actually get paid to print your photos

At the end of yesterday’s bargains post, I mentioned filling our new 30 clip frames with free photo prints.

I’m not a fan of printed-at-home photos as even with the best desktop printers, the quality is usually poor and the ink is so expensive too so we look to professional printers whenever we want some pictures printed out.

The other day John discovered that we qualify for 50 free photos a month as part of our Broadband subscription. It sounds like the offer is only for a year but that’s 600 photos in total so not to be sniffed at.

Free is, of course, good but actually getting paid to print your photos is even better: I got paid £3.49 and 50 free prints from Photobox earlier in the summer.

Photobox gives all new customers 50 free 6×4 prints, you just have to pay postage and packing of £1.49. When I signed up though, they were also giving away £5 for every new signup through TopCashBack – so even after p&p costs, I was in profit.
