How to Lower Your Monthly Tech Bills

Save on Printing and Storing Photos

Yeah, your 30-gigabyte photo collection is stored safely on your computer, but there's just something about physical prints that even the biggest and brightest monitor in the world can't match. Enter online photo services like Shutterfly and Snapfish, which both offer great introductory deals: 50 free prints for first-time customers. Your relatives and friends who still haven't come around to the wild world of "the Internet" will appreciate the effort.

It seems like everyday new photo storage sites are popping up, and regardless of which one you choose, we recommend using at least one as a place to backup your photos and share with friends and family. Instead of getting doubles or triples printed out at your local photo store (or online), you can store backups online for free. For storage, Picasa and flickr are two of the most popular free sites (though you may have to pay more for more storage) with both amateur and pro photographers, and even Facebook and MySpace let you backup and share photos nowadays.
