During June & July I sent several rolls of various color film (C-41 &
E-6 and Kodachrome) in 35mm, 120 & 220 for processing in Walmart
envelops. Find the drop box in the Photo department. In the Special
Instructions section write the type of film, process, etc. Drop in the
box. In 2 weeks they call me to come get it.

36 exp. Kodachrome mounted: $6.88/roll
36 exp. E-6 mounted: $5.88/roll
120 or 220 C-41 develop and sleeve: $0.84/roll. Not a typo. 220 same
price as 120.
Since doing this I have learned that you can have prints made from the
medium format negatives at the time of developing. The print prices
started at $0.05 or $0.06 and the most expensive was a 5x7 for $0.14.
So, a 120 roll of 6x7 negatives with 10 5x7 prints is $2.24 plus local
tax. Sweet!

Burn up some color film folks!

Wasting all of the cheap expired 120 & 220 C-41 & E-6 film he can find.
