    props to my wife

    My wife is big into coupons, getting deals, thinking ahead, and shopping wisely when buying things for our fridge and family. That's partly why we have a chest freezer in the basement. She tends to gently complain about my recent two year supply of bags of yellow film boxes in the freezer blocking the view of her food inventory. Thriftiness appreciated, but nothing unusual so far...

    In casual conversation last night, I mentioned I'd read on facebook that one of the film sellers, KB Canham, wrote that Kodak film prices are going up in April. I mentioned I was glad I stocked up early before the price increase I thought was inevitable, and that some companies have already increased prices.

    She smiled and said, "Maybe you should buy some more film then."

    Kodak is raising prices in April? I still shoot the yellow stuff in 35mm, 4x5 & 5x7

    Every time my wife is like that, it cost me a new pair of shoes, dress to match and a night out .

    You are a lucky man;--))) my wife always is unhappy if she looks into the freezer and there are more films in it!
    So I could 1. Change the wife or buy a second freezer!
    I think to buy a second freezer would be cheaper;--)))

    Cheers Armin

    Maybe it's time to tell her, "Honey, I just heard that ebay is going to raise the price of old lenses soon..."

    I got mine in a yard sale for 25 bucks. The hard part was fitting the freezer in the Yaris. It cleared with less than an inch. Check craigslist in the area.
    Another option is to get the film out of the house for 10 months each year. IT'S MAINE, remember!
