Good deal for April

Shutterbugs have lots of online options.

For the rest of the month, Snapfish is offering 50 free prints and a 20 percent discount on photo books to its customers, new and returning.

Snapfish, run by Hewlett-Packard, is an online photo storage and printshop. It offers inexpensive photo prints and items such as calenders and posters, and you can store unlimited photos for free. Well, almost free.
