I take digitals and print them out at home on good photo paper. You can get good photo paper at Staples for about $5 to $7 for 30 sheets. Not bad.
You can make more economical use of your paper too, if you first edit your pix as you want, put them into a document in word (arrange so they all fit on one sheet) and then print. I do a test print on regular paper first to make sure it all works. Then I do the "good" paper.
And I have an old Lexmark Z11 printer too. Works pretty well & saves trips to anywhere, except to get the paper.
