Economics is interesting, for example, one thing I learned yesterday: it's cheaper to buy 6 ounce instant boxed mac & cheese for only the cheese packet, and discard the pasta, than it is to order the cheese powder by itself, even in 5-10 pound quantities!

In my humble opinion, you would be far better off to keep the pasta and discard the cheese powder. ;-)

As much of the cost inherent in film relates to distribution and marketing, things like higher minimum orders and other distribution expense steps make sense for a film designed to be sold at lower prices.

I think a lot of the cost is the confectioning/packaging. At my local camera store the difference in price between a 24 exp and 36 exp roll of HP5 was 17 cents.
