I guess my point was not how cheap the film was, but the fact that  
Wal-Mart, at least here, is expanding their film sales, and Wal-Mart  
does not make those kinds of marketing decisions without knowing  
there is a market.

I didn't mention all the "disposable" cameras, including, now, black  
and white disposable cameras which are being stocked in great  
quanitites.

I just find it intriguing, given Wal-Mart's marketing expertise.
