VALUPOINT: Friends Don't Let Friends Pay Retail.

Thursday

It's great when the Wall Street Journal backs you up

So I'm reading the Wall Street Journal today and it just so happens that they printed a story about digital prints at the warehouse stores and how cheap they are for digital prints (kind of like my post a couple of days ago!). And how these warehouse clubs are trying to compete with the HP's of the world selling in-home digital printer solutions. And the article of course goes on to talk about how cheap COSTCO is and it's rivalry with Wal*Mart. Apparently, they are both going to the 17 cents/print level. I believe it was BJ's that is doing 15 cents/print.



In addition, I just got an email from Sony ImageStation and they just hooked up with CVS to do the upload-and-pick-up-at-the-store solution for 19 cents/print as well. Since CVS is much closer, it's worth the 2 cents difference.

I can't believe that Snapfish, Ofoto and the other guys are still trying to get away with 29 cents/print (plus S&H!)

Don't you just love competition?
