A good, cheap 400 color film?

[Chinasaur]

Title may be an oxymoron, I know...

Currently using Fuji Superia @ $2.50/roll/24

Any recommendations on cheaper, better 400 film for general picture-taking?? AND where to get it cheap(ly)??

TIA!

I would check eBay. Lots of times you can buy out of date film cheap. Most times the film is fine. I have shot expired film many times. There use to be a local lab in my home town and they would sell me rolls of expired Porta for a dollar a roll. It was all keep in a refrigerator. Might check a lab near you.

I like Kodak Ultra Max 400 as well as the Fuji Superia.
You didn't where you are, so I'll guess the States from the $ sign.
Try B&H, Adorama, Freestyle and even Walmart.
$2.50 seems about right- and cheap

memories 200, ferrania 100 and 400. i know you said 400, but gee, just a stop or difference.
and, outdated or near outdated ultramax 400. walgreens house brand. check cvs and walgreens for loss leaders ...

There aren't too many choices in 400 negative film these days and Superia is the cheapest one. I like the new Portra 400 but finally prefer Fuji 400H overall for the to my eyes more realistic contrast. Superia is a really good film.

If you can order from the UK, I think this is as cheap as film gets over here:

I'd vote for Kodak Ultramax too - impressively fine grain and nice colours for a budget film.
