Passport photos for 29 cents
?Do you think it's crazy that CVS charges 7.99$ for two passport-sized headshots, when they charge 19 cents online and 29 cents at the kiosk for a single 4x6 standard picture? Yeah, me too.
Well, here's http://www.epassportphoto.com/ . While they offer you a paid service (i.e., whatever CVS would otherwise charge you for passport photos), you can get their free service by clicking appropriately. And what do you end up with? A perfectly sized passport photo for whatever country you want, and prepared in a 4x6 format. Just open up a CVSphoto.com account, upload the picture, and, voila, pick up the picture at the store for 19 cents. (CVS gives you a service charge if you spend less than 5 dollars, so this is all you do, then just bring your flash drive to their Kodak kiosk and pay 29 cents.)
There may have been a time where a pro photog taking your passport pic for 12.99$ made sense. I don't see that any longer. The problem is that we only get our passport done every five years, so, it takes a long time to change our habit.
If you guys have other of these cool services that basically reduces the cost of something by 95%, I'd love to hear about those too.
