Save Money: Passport Photos

The next time you're looking to renew your passport, save the $9 or $10 that it costs to take a passport photo at your local pharmacy, and do it yourself with a digital camera. Have someone take four or five shots of you from various distances against a white background and upload those pictures to your computer to figure out the right size you need. Or, just head over to the pharmacy to print out your pictures at $0.19 each and pick the one that looks right. All in all, it shouldn't take too much more time than getting your photo taken at the pharmacy.
