Bulk loading is the only way to go, imo. Not hard at all, certainly cheaper than retail. I like having my favorite films on-hand. Currently I have XP2 Super, Tri-X, and Agfa Optima 400 in bulk loaders with 100' of FP4+ in the fridge.
Tellin ya, it's the only way to go. As much for having your favorite films always available as for the price. Don't fool with those cartridges they sell, just get them (free) from your retailer. Mine are happy to give them away. I use green 35mm film splicing tape but other say masking tape works fine too.
Bulk loading is one of those photographic things you're a little nervous about before doing it... Then - like the second guy to cross that troll "answer me these questions, three" bridge in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, you'll be proclaiming, "That's easy!" (...with a Brit accent)
C'mon. Buy a roll already. Give up your bulk loading virginity. Who can't use up a 100' roll of Tri-X?
