Browsing Amazon last night, and found a decent price for Fujicolor 200. 20-pack of 24 exposures for $39.89. Fresh dated, with an expiration date of 04-2019. That breaks down to about $2/roll, compared to $2.99/roll on B&H:

I ordered on Amazon last night around 9:30pm, and it was delivered to my doorstep this morning with free one-day Prime shipping. 😀
 
I've seen B&H with $2.69 price for Fuji Superia X-tra 400 24exp on many occasions (currently $3.69). C200 is nice, but X-tra 400 is awesome.
 
FWIW, it's actually 5 boxes of 4x24 exposures (as pictured on the listing), all shrink wrapped together. 3 left now, but there's at least one other seller offering the same deal with Prime shipping.
 
I like the 200 because the colors remind me of vintage washed-out vacation photos from the 60's.

S'funny my photographer son is selling this spring's crop of graduates color snapshots on cheap 200 film that look like vintage photos, alongside his digital work. The Spotmatic he shoots really seals the deal.

Never shot the film before, but I liked the muted colors in the image samples I saw. Now I have 40 rolls to test for myself! Anyway, it seems like Fuji is discontinuing these 24-exposure rolls for Fujicolor and Superia stocks, so get them while they last I guess:

In my experience with this film, there is excessive red rendition. All faces look sunburned. I've avoided using it since. I had to churn my way through a 5 pack from B&H.

Yes, in my experience, other consumer Fujifilm stocks like Superia also have a reddish cast to skin tones sometimes. Seems to get worse with underexposure. No matter for me, I intend to use the film for cheap and fun shooting. For $2/roll, I'm willing to accept some shortcomings. 😉

Great price! BHPhoto had this film for $2.50/per roll if you purchased the 4 pack. I did and purchased 60 rolls.

Hm, still available on Amazon, and I didn't see any low stock warnings. Wjlapier, did you by from B&H or from Amazon?
 
Even if Fuji is only ending 24exp rolls and will continue with 36exp, it still is a good deal @ 8 cents per frame vs .11 for the 36exp roll.


Edit: Now my son shows me an ebay deal with Kodak Color Plus 200 24exp for 2.78 per roll for 10rls. I want to support Kodak for on-going production, not Fuji for close-out sales. I don't need 30 rolls of film in the fridge, I really don't shoot much color anyway.
