Photo Finishing Recommendations?

[DocRafiki]

Has anyone figured out who has the best quality photo developing at a decent price? I used to be a die-hard Eckerd fan back in the day where they were super-expensive without the 50% coupons that they always ran. Ever since they lowered their prices (and quality), I haven't really been happy with anyone. I'm not interested in sending them out in the mail, and I refuse to go to Wal-Mart. Eckerd & Walgreens seem to be using cheap paper these days (or maybe I can upgrade to better paper), and their "matte" finish is a little too much on the glossy side for my taste. Has anyone used Target or anyone else that they've liked? I always use the send-out because I like the matte finish, so if anyone gets the matte finish, I'd be interested to hear who you like.

TIA

Do you have Wolf Camera by any chance? The quality is so much better than discount/drug stores b/c they actually look at each frame individually instead of just putting the machine on one setting and printing them all the same way. (They probably don't all do that, but many do.)
