Avoid expensive photo printing by getting prints of your mobile pictures straight from your device with the app available for both Apple/iOS and Android devices.

For free you get up to 45 6×4 photo prints a month, with a limit of 1 free print per photo and a total of 500 free prints a year, more than enough for most people.

However if you need more, there are cheap packages available for extra prints or for different sizes, while you can earn more free prints by inviting friends and family to the service.

The only slight catch is that you do need to pay for postage and packing at around £1.99, although at times this fee is waived making for completely, 100% free photo prints straight from your mobile.

Yes, real freebies exist and here’s all you need to know from our top tips to the best freebie UK websites and best freebie apps.

Start by reading the small print

With some freebies there may be a catch, including having to purchase something (so that it really isn’t free at all!) Be sure to read any small print to see just what you’re getting and any terms and conditions.

Search for reviews

Before signing up to anything, do a little research into the website or company, look online for reviews and comments. Don’t get too hung up on a single bad report but if no one has anything good to say there is probably a reason for it.

Don’t give out payment info

If you don’t give any credit card numbers or such like then there’s no chance of you ever getting unexpectedly charged for something. Some free trials may ask you to enter payment info and if you do choose to do so make absolutely sure you cancel before any payment is charged.

Sounds too good to be true? It probably is!

You can genuinely get stuff for free such as free samples and freebie rewards but you’re never going to get hundreds of pounds in cash, a free car, etc. If an offer sounds ridiculous then it almost certainly is.
