Cheapest place to get disposable cameras developed?

Apologies in advance if this sits in the wrong part of the forum. I haven't been on here in a while.

I recently got married and I've got 10 disposable cameras we left on the tables that I need developed (either to prints or on cd). I've only looked at a couple of places so far but prices are astronomical at around £7 per camera!!!

I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere (shop or online) that does a particularly good price or are offering any sort of deal at the moment?

Thanks in advance.

    They usually come with developing included in the price at around the £7 mark. So doubt anyone would develop them cheaper.
    Truprint are still going...http://support.truprint.co.uk/app/answers/detail/a_id/3716/~/film-processing

  • Thanks. I brought them originally from a wedding website so developing wasn't included, and I paid a small fortune for the flipping things in the first place so am a bit annoyed that I didn't do better research beforehand about how much processing would be. But at the time it was the least of my worries! Truprint seem to work out at £7 as per your link. Which is still astronomical!

    Still, maybe someone else will come along with a bargain find!!

    I had a quick look at some old links to getting film developed after finding an old cheapy camera that came in a goody bag.

    Most of the links just went to pages that offered to have your pictures printed in paper or objects, none mentioned getting a film developed.

    Does anywhere still develope films? ASDA used to on the camera/electricals counter but no sign of it last time i looked.

    Why would you look at old links?
    Google 'Film developing' there are loads listed.
    Perhaps the easiest is Max Spielmann who are in most larger Tesco stores now.

    Boots still do it:

    I could only see price 'per print' so not sure how much it would be for your cameras.

    You do know you can just remove the film from the camera yourself and post it off.

    It's just normal 35mm film.

    The Truprint price works out at 18.5p per print (27 exposure film) plus £2 postage. I don't understand why you think that's expensive when the cost of the chemicals, paper, equipment and labour is considered.

    Old links down to using Google to search..

    And as Niv put below, the Boots link from google shows what seems to be printing your own pictures from files that you send them not developing film.

    Truprint does show prices for developing though. They no longer do pictures from negatives it seems.

    You could try going through one of the cashback websites (Quidco or Top Cashback come to mind).
    Pretty sure Truprint can be accessed through them for a small percentage off the price.
