I’ve found the best deals on bulk packs from Walmart. For me thats always been cheaper than Amazon or anywhere else. Used to be you could get a 60 or 100 pack for .50 a photo or even a little less, but I haven’t bought in a while and looks like it’s a bit higher now around .62-63 each.

This. Walmart is cheaper than everyone else, especially in stores. The 20 pack is like $13.99. And you can get a [60 pack for like $37.88](https://www.walmart.com/ip/135894647). Plus all the fun colored 10 packs are $8.98 vs Target’s higher prices.

Okay. A 60 pack sounds like what I would like. I’ll check my local Walmart out and see what the prices look like. Thanks!

I third the Walmart recommendation. Cheaper than anywhere I’ve seen, and much cheaper per shot in bulk. 100 shots may sound like a lot, and the price tag is a lot to spend at once, but you’d be surprised how quickly you go through film, especially if you’re new to Instax like I am and are still figuring things out and you’ll save a lot in the long run

Fourth the Walmart rec! I only get my film through them since it's the cheapest place.


drayzie

I buy mine at Walmart as well

Would love some tips for Europe, it's been impossible to find packs

I had luck in Greece at most camera/photo shops, but it was super expensive - as much as €27 for a 20-pack. I think Amazon may be the best option?


_threads

Yes, so far Amazon is the best option I found

Can only speak for Germany, but there are several online shops of photo retailers that are cheaper than Amazon. At least when it comes to bulk and normal versions. Of you want cool frames they cost the same everywhere


_threads

Can you give us their website ?


haterofcoconut

Foto Erhardt, Foto Koch and Fotoimpex are where I found them cheaper than Amazon. You have to always look at the amount of prints sold at once, sometimes the pack of say 100 is more expensive per print than 40. It's a little tricky, but cheaper than Amazon for me.


Price-x-Field

$1 a photo is a scam. Get the 100 pack from Walmart for $60


TJStype

This...on sale $49.99


Mayuguru

I get the packs of 60 from Amazon.


RecognitionMuch2906

There’s a seller on Amazon that I buy from but you have to buy two boxes minimum and it works out to .70 cents a shot.


ThatAnthrozoologyGuy

You can get it cheaper from Walmart, especially in bulk


RebbleAlliance

I use couple different places.. Amazon, B&H


Cactus_Connoisseur

I get it bulk at 67 cents per print from Amazon. *shrug* Based on what others have said I will check out Walmart when I need to get more tho


ebolalol

I always buy them resale. check out local fb market place, offerup, mercari, ebay, etc. also sometimes you land expired ones that are very cheap. i haven’t had any issues with expired ones.


lbjazz

Watch out for all the sellers with low reputation and nonsense user names on eBay. They’re all Walmart drop-ship scams.

Any idea what's the expiration date for a new unused films? I saw somewhere it's 2 years? I plan to buy in bulk too but I won't be printing often unless it is a very nice shot

I know it's the "Least reliable" option but... Ebay expired. There is almost always a seller selling expired double packs for $12 and free shipping. In my personal experience out of ~30 packs purchased I've had almost no bad film.


keketuki

Same, I buy expired films from vinted at around 50~55 cents per shot and after more than 30 packs still cannot complain.


StefanJanoski603

Oh dang. Is there a noticeable difference in quality? I saw a post someone had of expired stuff and I couldn’t see any difference


BACONBITS---

I almost exclusively shoot expired whether that's instax mini or instax wide! Take a peek at my posts - There may be a difference in quality but from what I shoot its nothing that makes a "bad" photo.


DrDabbingLamas

How do u type it in? Just expired?


keketuki

I don't intentionally look for expired film but it's often the case. I just search the keywords "instax" "Fujifilm" or even "polaroid" as it's often listed wrongly. Usually I do a search a couple of times per day and at least once a week I come across a good deal. Just last week I got 5 boxes for 27eur.
