With a slogan that says "Always Low Prices, Always", Wal-Mart often claims they have the lowest prices.
That is not necessarily true, as I discovered yesterday.
With the same Kodak PictureMaker kiosk, a regular 4x6 print from digital media is $0.28 at Wal-Mart, while Target only charges $0.20. That is almost 30% saving by printing at Target.*
An 8x10 print at Wal-Mart is $4.74 per print, and the same is only $2.99 at Target, almost 40% saving.**
Target also offers Kodak Premium prints of 4x6 with Kodak ColorTouch at $0.29 per print.
I am also proud to say that I have not purchased anything from Wal-Mart, or I have been Wal-Mart-Free, for over 5 years.
* [(0.28-0.20)/0.28]*100% = 28.57%
** [(4.74-2.99)/4.74]*100% = 36.92%
right on, Tian! Have you seen the film yet? btw--this is a daily read for me...keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteYou also don't have to deal with Megalomart's draconian copyright policies.
ReplyDeleteI wanted to print an old picture from the 1860s and they told me I'd need a release from the photographer.
awesome! good for you! wal-mart is an evil corporation; i also don't partronize them, though i wish i could say the same for my parents.
ReplyDeleteI have personally NEVER bought anything from Wal-Mart in my life! top that!
