I do Shutterfly books once a year we have 3 for 3 different years I upload all my phone pics and I let the designers on Shutterfly create them by date. They take the best pics and they delete doubles. It's absolutely amazing. I use coupons and Dan's deals for the unlimited extra pages and pay about $12 for a 200 page book


I’m on shutterfly now & don’t see the option of them doing the sorting & work for me.
Is it under a different title ?

You can do it for any book. Once you select the style and upload pics, it should have the option of "autofill"

Yes it's 111 pages but I count all sides which add up to 200. Dan's deals has it all the time. It's basically stacked with Groupon which costs $5 for the book then u only pay shipping on Shutterfly which is 7 for me totally 12 for the book including shipping. Actually this time was 8 since I had a coupon for the Groupon. It's called design my book and it takes 24 hours for Shutterfly designers to come up with the book they do a beautiful job every time. I tweak it just a bit

I do chatbooks, it's a great solution to the problem but it's not good for a backlog of photos, you'll get overwhelmed and never do it. It's good for going forward though, it's up to 60 pics each month (used to be 30 and they recently increased it) so each month I just go through the pictures on my phone, select whichever I would want to print and make a Google photos album, if it's over 60 pics I delete a few but it's not usually. Then in the chatbooks app I just select the album and send to print. Very easy and nice quality.

The only thing is that the books are kinda small (4x6) and it's only 60 pics at a time so if you have hundreds, it's not a good solution. I do it though because my kids love looking at it and they're still little so it's good for little hands, not sure what I will do in the future. Also if there was an event that happened that month like a simcha I generally do a separate photo book for that. So really what I would do if I was you is do the album route for all your old pics, maybe you can pay a kid to slot them in for you?

I’ve been doing Chatbooks for years. I have it set to take the favorites off my camera roll and every 60 photos it creates a book (one photo per page). I get notified so I can make edits - exclude photos I don’t want, etc. And then it prints and comes to my door. It’s $10 for that book. Now they’ve come out with other options and monthly stuff and things, but I’ve been doing it this way for years so now I don’t want to switch (type A) cuz I want everything to match. Here’s a link to Chatbooks - you will get $10 off if you use it for your first book.

I’m trying to order a photo book on Shutterfly and it’s coming out to a lot of $, even with 50% off. Is the smartest thing to wait for free additional pages?

Yes. Free pages code plus buy this Groupon. Total comes out to around $25 after shipping and taxes.

Thank you. Do you have any idea how often they have that offer?

I would guess around every three months.
They also mail coupons every so often, so you can sign up for that.

Thanks. I think I am signed up for that but I don’t really pay attention unless it’s relevant, so now I will!

Hi, just wanted to say thanks! I did an 11x14 with lay flat pages so it didn’t quite come to $12 but it was significantly cheaper than the more than $300 it was before Groupon and free pages! (Free pages started again today for anyone interested)
