If it were Rumours it was worth every penny.
I noticed a couple kids buying a vinyl album (33 1/3 rpm record) recently. It was a reissue of a Fleetwood Mac album. This was at Walmart or Target, IIRC it was well over $20. Maybe there's hope.

If it was Rumours, they don't know what they are missing
(I'm more of a Peter Green or Bob Welch Fleetwood Mac fan, then a Buckingham Nicks Fleetwood Mac fan)
You clever so and so.!Oh well.
Color only of course.
Op here. I took the advice of this thread and went down to CVS and they had a neat little selection of film. Color only of course, 200 and 400 Fuji and surprisingly some of the new Polaroid stuff. Kind of cool.
I picked up a 3 pack of Superia xtra 400 35mm 36 frames for about $30 all told. Not bad in my opinion. $0.28 per shot makes sense to me.
Here the big drugstore chains never gave up on b&w fillm
I don't know that I've seen b&w film in drug stores.
I haven't seen b&w film in a non-camera store since last century. And, actually, since it was in Walmart, and they do sell cameras, I don't know that I've seen b&w film in drug stores. (Probably in the 70s - I remember the film display rack was huge in the local drug store when I was a kid.)
Ilford film is on sale behind the photo counter at all the London Drugs in our area.
Of course, many of them have an in store photo lab as well.
I haven’t shot 35 in about 6 years or so and my girlfriend just got a little point and shoot recently.
I was on B&H buying 4x5 portra 400 and I thought I’d use the free shipping it gave me to pick up a couple rolls for her.
I thought things were difficult for large format shooters but what’s going on with color negative 35 is something else. None of the go to have much of anything. And what is available is either very expensive or ridiculously expensive.
How long have things been like this?
It went up pretty fast, at least in Europe.
2018 - Kodak Ektar 120, 5 pack on Amazon - 26 EUR
2022 - Kodak Ektar 120, 5 pack on Amazon - 73 EUR
You can imagine that i shoot only black and white now

Dunga is, of course, in Romania.forget AMZ. $55 in the US. AMZ is where you go if u want to see film prices in 2035.
Dunga is, of course, in Romania.
All this just highlights how much of the retail costs come from the distribution.
In the US, there is okay distribution.
Outside of the US, distribution is really inconsistent, multi-partied, inefficient and expensive.
For the US the cheapest I could find was B&H at US$ 54,95 while the Amazon Kodak store sells it for US$ 59,48 which is pretty much the same in EUR at the current exchange rate.
To compare prices from the USA you have to add to the US prices about 20% european VAT, which than makes the US Kodak-Amazon price even higher than the german retailer one...
