Free Pictures at Picture People

Getting family pictures taken can be a chore. Dress them up, pray they don't fall in the parking lot ruining their clothes, argue about who's not smiling. Only then to return back to the scene of the crime to order pictures and return once more to retrieve said pictures. That's why I love Picture People....instant gratification. Oh yeah, and they have free pictures! In and out within an hour and a half with pictures in hand.

Between their Portrait Club and printable coupons, sheets are super inexpensive. I never walk in there without a coupon and my Portrait Club card in hand. I'm going to come home with one or two pictures so I may as well get one for free.

Currently there are two coupons available. Come back to the site for new coupons after these expire.

• Six picture sheets for $18
• Buy one get two free
  

I mix the coupons with the Portrait Club to get the best deals. Portrait Club costs about $40/year and here's what's included:

• Three free color portrait sheets sized 10x13 or smaller (one per visit)
  
• Three $10 rewards (one per visit)
• One-year storage of images
• Two free enhancements per visit
• $2 off all portrait sheet reprints

For a typical trip I tend to come home with three pictures. One I buy, one free with my Portrait Club, and one free from the coupon. Since you can merge the club and the coupons it's really awesome. So 3 pictures for $18 (not including the original $40) ain't too shabby.

They don't charge for the sitting fee and the salesmen aren't pushy. But you do have to keep track of your Portrait Club card in order to redeem the freebies. They don't track it on file. Warning: they put something in their lenses making the pictures irresistible.
