Shutterfly on a Budget? Costco to the Rescue (and Your Wallet Will Thank You)
Let's face it, capturing life's precious moments is awesome. But those moments can turn into a not-so-precious dent in your wallet when it comes to printing them. Fear not, lovers of photo keepsakes! There's a hidden gem in the world of Costco memberships that's about to turn your frown upside down (or at least into a smug grin).
Hold onto Your Hats (or Should We Say, Membership Cards): The Costco-Shutterfly Alliance
Yes, you read that right. Costco, the land of bulk everything and enough free samples to feed a small village, has teamed up with Shutterfly, the one-stop shop for personalized photo magic. This beautiful partnership brings a whopping 51% discount on all your Shutterfly purchases, as long as you're a loyal Costco member (and let's be honest, who isn't after that rotisserie chicken?).
But wait, there's more! On top of the discount, you'll also snag free economy shipping on orders over $49. Now that's what we call a win-win-win situation (you win, your wallet wins, and your grandma finally gets that photo album she's been hinting at for years).
Let's Get Technical (but Not Really, We Promise)
Here's the nitty-gritty: to unlock this treasure trove of photo savings, you just need to link your Costco membership number to your Shutterfly account. It's easier than assembling that Ikea bookshelf you have lingering in the corner (no shade to Ikea, but let's be real).
Here's the how-to in three easy peasy steps:
- Head over to the Costco website and find their magical Shutterfly portal (think Narnia, but with discounts instead of a wardrobe).
- Whip out your trusty Costco membership number (the one you probably use in your sleep at this point) and enter it into the designated spot.
- If you already have a Shutterfly account, high five yourself for being ahead of the game! Just sign in and link your accounts. New to Shutterfly? No worries, creating an account is a breeze.
Now, the best part: Once you've completed this membership mambo, the discount is automatically applied at checkout. That's right, no scrambling for coupon codes or memorizing cryptic promo phrases. Just sit back, bask in the glow of your savings, and get ready to turn those digital memories into tangible keepsakes.
So, You're Saying There's a Catch? (Spoiler Alert: Not Really)
Well, there's always a fine print or two, but in this case, it's nothing major. The discount applies to regularly priced Shutterfly orders, so any sale items or clearance finds might not be included. But hey, with a 51% discount on everything else, you're still winning big.
Also, this fantastic deal is exclusive to active Costco members. So, if your membership is gathering dust like that aforementioned Ikea furniture, it might be time to renew and get back in the savings game.
Alright, that's all there is to it! Now go forth and conquer the world of photo printing, armed with your Costco membership and newfound Shutterfly savings. Remember, a picture is worth a thousand words, but with this deal, it might just be worth a thousand bucks (well, maybe not that much, but you get the idea).
