I am looking for the cheapest place to get passport photos. I am in Atlanta and the cheapest I have found is $10 for 2 which is pretty bad. Any ideas?

10 bucks is probably the average you're going to find. I think at Walgreen's it's like 8.95 plus tax, which comes out to about 10 bucks.  I hope this doesn't sound mean (I'm not trying to be), but if you're worrying about $10 for passport photos, how are you going to afford a plane ticket??

I got mine done cheap (don't remember exactly how much) at Kinko's.. surprisingly, the staff weren't as incompetent and apathetic as usual.

 I got mine done at Kinko's for my first passport and they charged me $17!  I paid it though because I was in a hurry-- somehow I'd managed to lose my other passport photos and I was on my way to the office for the interview thingie, so I needed it done ASAP.

I got the plane ticket already! I am just asking this as a general way to lower future budgets. I have my passport I just need some extra photos for visas while abroad (on my future trip). Every penny counts when you want to travel for at LEAST a year. 8.95 is better than 11 at Kinkos here. Thats 2 bux per set and I think I will need 4 sets so $8 is pretty good. That's $8 more for the trip! You can be nickel and dime'd to death if you are not careful!
Thanks for the input guys!

Sorry bud, that is the UK. The U.S. likes to charge for those things. We have like 6 passport offices in the country. My closest is Chicago. We got to the Post Office and they charge and arm for some pictures too. Bloody disgruntles.
