![]() (Ignore my phone’s time– I honestly forgot to screen capture this message until I got home from picking up the photos). Once submitted, you’ll get a confirmation email saying your order has reached the Walgreens system!īut look at that! Way less than an hour later– actually more like 25 minutes later– I got an email notification that my order was ready for pick up! My estimate was set for about an hour after ordering my prints. At this point, you’ll be given an estimated pick up time. You’ll also set your pick up location– I chose my closest Walgreens location. I’d love to see Walgreens streamline this feature in the future, but for now, it didn’t take me THAT much longer to go through twice (and it’s unlikely that I will always be ordering two different sizes anyway– this time, I needed some 8x8s for the new apartment, so I decided to print in that larger size).Īfter that, you’ll submit your order, entering contact info like your name (which you tell them to pick up your prints, obviously), as well as your phone and email so you can be notified when prints are ready. I also was ordering prints in two different sizes, I had to go back through the process twice. The only flaw I could find with the app is that if I wanted to order multiple prints of a specific photo (for example, one for me, one for the grandparents, and one for great grandma), I’d have to go back through the process entirely to order a second set of prints. If you have a coupon code, here is the place to enter it, as well! I’ll talk about both in detail in a minute). The ones you’ve tapped on will show a red check next to them!įrom there, you can select your size and quantity (Here, I chose 4×4, which is $0.39/print in my area, but there is also an 8×8 option at $3.99/print. Once you log in, you’ll need to hit Authorize, allowing the Walgreens app to access your photos temporarily so you can select what you’d like to print.Īll of your photos will show up on the screen, and you just tap on the ones you’d like to print. I love this feature, because all too often, I have to delete photos from my phone in order to have space for MORE photos… and that means Instagram photos (already uploaded online) are the first to go! If you want, you can even pull your photos directly off of Instagram by logging into your Instagram account via the application. Once your app is downloaded, you can open the app and click on photo, then create. When I got back from the conference, one of the first things I did was sit down and use the Walgreens App (available for both Android and iOS). To give me a shot to try it out, the Walgreens Photo Booth at BlogHer was kind enough to give me 20 free Instagram prints which I could test out.* But I didn’t even know they HAD a photo lab! The Walgreens photo booth enlightened me, though, and even told me that they had a phone app.Īfter a quick tutorial at the booth, I was all set to start getting actual, in-hand prints of my son.īut would they be quality? I mean, I was uploading photos off of my Instagram, for goodness sakes! But I figured it was worth a try. ![]() I’m fairly familiar with Walgreens in that they have a pharmacy, and there’s one somewhat near me, and they carry a few other goods. However, later in my BlogHer weekend, I stopped by the Walgreens booth. But I had no photos of him on the walls, no photos of us together. ![]() It features maybe a small handful of photos of my son after birth. ![]() Now, we’re all armed with arsenals of 300+ photos on our phones, and it’s a shock when you need a printed picture of your child.īut then I realized… I don’t have any printed photos of my son! I have a printed photo album… from pregnancy. This is a far cry from the day when people joked about someone whipping out their wallet and showing off about 10-20 photos of their children in their little plastic photo holders. If my phone was dead… I didn’t have a single photo. I went to show her a picture, and realized that I didn’t have one. I was chatting with a woman who was hoping to start a blog soon, and she asked about my son. I know, I know, I think he’s soooo much cuter than you do, but that’s life.Īt BlogHer recently, though, my phone (which was going through overuse overload at the moment) was totally dead on the way back to the hotel that day. You know, the one cluttering your Facebook news feed with 15,000 pictures and videos of my son. ![]()
