So I went onto shutterfly tonight and started ordering some of my favorite pics. I'm like that commercial where the kids are stuck in the camera for years...waiting to get out. I've always waited on doing this type of project because I knew it was something that was going to be a bit pricey and sometimes I can be a bit frugal with things that aren't a need. Long story short, I purchased about 30 of my favorite photos...some 16x20's...and needless to say it was a bit pricey. So to try and get rid of some cost i went on a nice little website called www.retailmenot.com this gives you all types of online discounts...very nice...
Well, after searching, I had no luck and was very frustrated. I was even more frustrated when I saw that snapfish their competitor had free shipping. My shipping for 4-5 days was 67 dollars! So I got on the phone, spoke with the guy and told him if he didn't give me free shipping i was going to move my business to Snapfish (now between you and I there was no way I was doing that. It took me hours and there was no way in hell i was spending another few hours on it). So the guy asked me to hold on, I did, and he came back telling me to go screw myself. Nah, just kidding. He told me he was going to give me 2 day shipping for free!!!!That is more than I even asked for and worth over 100 buckarooni's!
So my friends...Shrvrod (yes that was his name..spelling not too sure lol) had the holiday spirit and perked mine up a bit too by the spirit of giving! Can't wait to see the photos!

That is awesome! I have been really good this year about asking for more, and to my great delight, I'm pretty much batting 1000 on getting it!!!
Frugalistas unite!!!!
Funny Post - especially when Shrvrod told you to screw yourself. LOL......good job. Pics should be arriving tomorrow!!! Woo Hoo!!! Can't wait to see them......
You are so funny and that is so...true. If you don't ask they will not give it to you. You know what I have also been doing? When I to a random store I ask if they have any coupons or discounts and even if they don't, the cashier sometimes, not all will give you one. It feels awesome when that happens. How did the pics come out anyway? By now you should have received them. Did you get the frames and hang them going up the stairs? I can't wait to see!! That is my next project, pictures going up the stairs. I'm scared though for some reason. I think I know it is going to be a big project.
