Three passport photos at Walmart cost me $54. Definitely not the cheapest in Canada<\/p><\/div>\n

I recently had to get some passport photos taken for myself and my 2 daughters. \u00a0I didn’t really give it much though who has the cheapest passport photos in Canada, so I went to Walmart. \u00a0Didn’t give it a second thought. \u00a0Afterall, Walmart is cheap right?<\/p>\n

I found out the hard way they aren’t quite so cheap after all, especially for passport photos. \u00a0The pictures for me and my 2 daughters was $15.99 each, or $53.73 for all 3 after 12% HST (BC Resident). \u00a0It wasn’t until several weeks later that I discovered Costco does passport photos and that the price is only $7.99 per person, exactly half the price of Walmart. \u00a0It was too late for me, but had I known I would have saved over $26 on photos.<\/p>\n

2014 UPDATE: \u00a0COSTCO still has the cheapest passport photos in Canada. \u00a0At only $7.99, its less than half the price of most other places.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I spent about 40 minutes searching the net and travel forums (RedFlagDeals<\/a> is my favorite Canadian bargain site), and calling to a handful of photo shops but nobody even came close. \u00a0I might have missed it but I’m pretty sure Costco offers of the cheapest passport photos in Canada.<\/p>\n

At only $8, Costco easily has the cheapest passport photos in Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n
Quality Does Matter:<\/strong>\u00a0 Last time we got our photos taken, my twins were only 2 years old. \u00a0Getting them to pose for a photo was pretty tough slugging. \u00a0Try telling your kid NOT TO SMILE. \u00a0It goes against everything they’ve ever been told. \u00a0Last time around, we used Sears for our photo before a family trip to Las Vegas. \u00a0So after we finally got the pictures taken, they were rejected from the passport office not once, but twice. \u00a0It took 3 visits to Sears, a company I will never use again for my passport photos.<\/p>\n

Check your passport expiry date: \u00a0Here’s an obvious tips for travellers but one that nearly cost me a 2 week trip to Hawaii. \u00a0Two nights before our trip last spring, I checked our passports and discovered my twins’ passports had expired. \u00a0We were all set to fly out of Victoria (YYJ) and couldn’t. \u00a0Luckily I discovered that minors were permitted to enter the US by boat. \u00a0We changed our flights so that we were flying from Seattle to Honolulu (instead of Victoria), and we caught a ferry from Victoria to Seattle. \u00a0The whole incident cost me about $500. \u00a0This was for the ferry, extra hotel in Seattle, flight change fees, and food.<\/p>\n
Do you know somebody who offers passport photos in Canada cheaper than Costco?<\/p>\n
