Comparing 3 Same Day photo printing Services
Pictapic App is now available on App Store & Google Play
hello and welcome back to a sparkly pink
my name's Michelle and today I have
something a little bit different to
share with you I'm going to be reviewing
and comparing three same date
photo printing services I went to Walgreens
Walmart and CVS I know there's probably
more out there I think staples even did
it but I thought those were the three
that maybe those across the United
States would be able to find most
commonly what does my camera doing hello
I just feel like those were the three
that across the United States everyone
could find the easiest and do a same-day
picture kind of photo printing now I want to
compare the same three photos to fill up
this cute little decor piece that I've
had in the quarter of my kitchen for a
little while it's just sitting there
empty and it needs a little sprucing up
so I have my copies here let's go over
to my kitchen table we'll open them up
we'll talk about pricing we'll talk
about the variety of the different sizes
that each door offered and how clear
they came out I feel like sometimes when
you do the same day photo printing it looks
like extra blurry or grainy or just like
cheap and I get that these are going to
be same-day photo printing and they do not cost
the same as professional pictures being
photo printing I get that but sometimes you
want things to look somewhat good so I'm
going to insert a little clip here
because I don't think I went over the
pricing and I want to make sure that
that was really clear so see he has we
spent five dollars and 11 cents Walmart
we spent two dollars and seven cents and
at Walgreens I spent two dollars and 39
cents so there's a three dollar
difference between CVS and the other two
it looks like Walmart and Walgreens are
pretty comparable price-wise I believe I
did use a coupon code when I bought the
CVS ones but let's see how they compare
to each other but before we get started

I love doing DIYs I love doing like
Paris and type videos let's flip e
around let's go through the costs the
sizes and the quality of the pictures
I'm gonna tell you right off the bat I
am seeing a vast difference without even
looking like in detail looking depth
which we are going to do here in a
moment a vast difference at each of the
companies I'm going to put the photos
here all three of them that I'm going to
show you that I photo printing out again I did
take these with my phone they're not
like a professional photographer or
anything like that so keep that in mind
I wanted you to have a rush from this
point so that when we're looking at
these you know exactly what we're
looking at so let's start off with what
I think is probably just initial view
looking at these that the closest to how
it looked on my phone which is from CBS
and they were by far the more expensive
option of all of them I did use a
discount code I think it was like a
twenty or thirty percent off the only
weird thing is they kind of put a frame
on the beach shot I mean I don't know
that I'd necessarily mind it it kind of
looks kind of cool but I have no idea
why they did that it did not look that
way on the computer when I ordered it I
ordered two six by eight one five by
seven and one four by six and I did get
that so here is my two six by eight I
thought that was a unique size I don't
know that I had heard that before our
skin looks like skin it looks glowy and
it looks exactly like how I edit it on
my phone I just kind of like put a
filter on in Lightroom and this is our
four by City because I figured most
people if they're doing like a photo
album are going to get this size so I
feel like they're pretty comparable just
straight-up different sizes in photo printing and
then we have the one of us together it
was not the clearest of photos even on
my phone but I'm pretty happy with this
quality let me see if I can kind of turn
in the light here and show you like
we're not the clearest but I am totally
satisfied with this and I feel like the
beach looks exactly like how it does on
my phone I am really happy with these
right here now let's go over to Walmart
I'm very confused by what I got from
Walmart so let's start off with
what I ordered I ordered a five by seven
a four by six and two true digital's
okay so I figured it out so true
digital's which are they gave me
somebody else's pictures are four by
sixes so this is also a four by six
which is confusing yeah it has to be a
four by six it's the same size is that
one I'm missing that photo printing of us from
this order also can we look at the
quality and the difference in the
coloring when it comes to this sunset
picture look at how vastly different
this looks just like it does on my phone
and while this is still gorgeous what is
going on here the Sun or the sky is a
totally different color in both of the
pictures now quality wise the details
and the photos are there but weird same
three photos that I uploaded to each of
the websites
moving on to Walgreens and I want to say
this was the quickest turnaround I want
to say it didn't even take an hour to
get the email saying that the photos
were ready for pickup
we ended up going with a five by seven a
four by six and two four by five in
point threes I don't know what that
necessarily means I saw it on there and
I thought that was interesting I do like
that it shows what I was photo printing like
which one is which like the five by
seven is obviously the beach shot it's
almost like this one didn't get cut so
these two are my four by five point
three and this is my four by six which
makes sense that's on par with this one
here the beach again looks totally
different than the other two I'm gonna
lay them side by side here in a moment
but can we talk about how they left a
weird border here why wasn't this
trimmed why is it not on the same paper
as this one and I don't know it's just
weird it's random looks dull and I'm
hoping the camera is picking this up
let's put these side-by-side I wish I
had the Walmart one to show you but I
suppose we really just have CVS and
Walgreens to go off of here you know
what else I just
so is this the 6x8 so this is supposed
to be a six by eight these are five by
sevens and this one from CVS is a four
by six and this is the four by five
point three from Walmart do you see the
clarity and the color difference in the
face there this is bright and inviting
and it you know that's how I wanted the
picture to be some people may want their
pictures to look like this but this is
not what I ordered this is the same
exact photo printing I sent to each of the
companies here again Wow okay so that
makes sense as to why this has a border
I'm not sure why they didn't just blow
it up a little bit more this is supposed
to be a six by eight I paid three
dollars alone for this one picture I
mean it's beautiful and I like I said I
don't mind the border but it is a bit
discerning now let's do a side-by-side
of these Beach shots here we have CVS
Walmart and Walgreens again Walgreens is
dark and moody for some reason the
Walmart somehow added some pink things
going on there and the CVS is the
clearest to what I was going for what
these pictures again look at this color
of the sand it's different on every
single one and again the closest one to
the picture is the CVS wine so I guess
that the payoff is paying a little bit
more for the quality here again we're a
little bit more pink and we're a little
bit weirdly cloudy around the face both
of our faces look a little funky in this
shot this is very contrasted and dark
and moody this is again is the Walgreens
one I just I don't I don't get it I
guess it's the software they use the
photo printing machines that they use I don't
know all the technology or what goes in
behind the idea of this but we found
some weird things going on with these
photo printing so I would say stick with
the CVS if you have a CVS near you if I
haven't mentioned so already I'm
definitely going with the CVS ones I
feel like those were the best quality
let's see if I can do this one handedly
gonna stick some up here maybe have this
one kind of off to the side
I think this is so cute and simple I got
this on clearance at Kohl's I don't know
I'm really bad at doing that I'll
probably have to play around with them a
little bit more but that is somewhat of
the finished product there so there you
have it you can see the difference with
your own two eyes
between the Walgreens and the quality of
the CVS and Walmart just totally royally
screwing it up I mean I feel bad I add
these to people's photos they were
probably needing those for something or
looking forward to them I'm sure they've
reprinted them by now because I did
order these like a couple weeks ago I've
been sitting on them getting a little
lazy and getting behind out making my
content but let me know what you think
do you know of any other photo printing
companies or do you know when CVS runs
their deals so I can photo printing some more
photos I feel like I want to get back
into having like a little photo printing album on
my coffee table of all of our little
adventures you know I took the kids to
New York we've gone to California when
it comes time for our wedding I want to
be able to photo printing things and know that
I'm getting a quality product but not be
spending a ton of money cuz we're not
that fancy I don't need professional
photos photo printing all the time thank you so
much for being here with me and going
through this experiment I'm curious to
hear what you think in the comments down
below and let me know if you have any
video requests or anything you would
like me to compare in the future and
I'll see you in our next video coming up
now
