A little over a year and a half ago I purchased a gallon of Flexicolor Bleach for just over $28. I just ordered Kodak's repackaged bleach (gallon size has been discontinued) in a 2.7 liter jug from my regular supplier. It is now priced at $46.40.

I also ordered two 10-sheet boxes of Ektar at $27 plus change each. I can refrigerate the films to stretch them out, but once the developer is mixed the shelf life is not as forgiving. This may well be the end of color photography for me, ... both MF and LF.
