I never buy more than 10 rolls of B&W 36x, (2 months worth or so) so, my 40 year old or so 6'h x 4.5w' x 2'd double door solid Walnut Armoire fine.

I know it isn't much, but, it's all I can afford. It's enough, it keeps me connected with Film Photography.
 
Currently have three large ziplock bags in the refrigerator, 2 B&W and 1 Color (about 60 rolls). The goal is to rotate the stock using oldest date first. Usually replenish inventory after using 15 to 20 rolls.

I have purchased expired rolls on a couple of occasions and used that stock immediately.

Usually a camera with me every day and keep two or three rolls in the bag.
 
Update from post #16 in 2008. I have 3 rolls of Neopan 1600 in a drawer in my fridge, rest are in 2 bags in my room. My house stays pretty cool.
 
FWIW, I got back into film two months ago, using Tri-X and TMY-p3200 stored in my freezer since about 2000. Both are quite visibly fogged, but I have been using them, and they worked fine. I just recently got some Arista Premium (faux Tri-X) and here's a comparison of the fresh with my old: http://i.minus.com/iSAihzYTwdDv.jpg

Same developer, time, etc.
 
I live in a very warm place. Most of my film is in the freezer. The rest, which I expect to use within the next months is in the fridge.
 
I voted refrigerator, but some rolls are in the freezer, and some others in a shoulder bag where the camera(s) usually travel.
The scheme is the usual: from the freezer to the fridge, then to the camera bag, an then to the camera.
BTW, I still have a can of Plus X that was stored for almost 18 years in an anctarctic base, later brought to the continent in the icebreaker´s freezer, then to a home freezer for the past 32 years. Another can that came from the same place and time performed fine.

I keep most of my film in the freezer. I them move it to the fridge for 24 hours and then let it come up to room temp depending on the time of year. I keep exposed but unprocessed film in the fridge until I can get to processing it.

I have dedicated an entire freezer to storing film, and the fridge portion to storing my beer and a little film. Need to keep priorities straight.
