Rite Aid passport photo price

While Rite Aid previously offered passport photos for as little as $8.99, they've since raised their prices, they continue to provide some of the most budget-friendly options available. Keep in mind that the Rite Aid chain is less developed than Walgreens: not all American cities have stores.
