When I say cheap I don't mean cheap quality, I would prefer walk-in stores rather than internet stores. Kodak is usually what I shoot, actually thats really all I shoot but I guess Im open to other suggestions. Thank You.

back when i used to buy bulk film and load my own canisters.. and it was cheap... BUT... it was a pain... and i was forever using ilford Hp5 canisters with colour film in them... and it got confusing...
Jessops do free film exchange..
and therer are ONLY five manufacturers of film inthe world
Konica / Kodak / Fuji / Agfa and Ilford... and all the smaller resellers badge it... tudor film was in fact Fuji... it just wasnt upto fuji specs... they all do it... Jessops film is either Fuji or Agfa... and ok, its not cibachrome.. or kodachrome, but its ok for general use. ive used it for years... inc weddings etc.. the colour is good, saturation is Ok and you dont get too many cross curves when developing after very long exposures... or under arti light. and its free...
i love Fuji 160s... film stock... vibrant colour... and almost NO grain. and thier velvia e6 (slide) is almost as good as kodachrome 64... (almost)

Generally, for walk-in stores, you're talking Wal-Mart, Target, or Kmart as the best walk-in places for cheap film. You can also watch the Sunday paper for any advertisements.
However, if you don't mind the Internet, I suggest using eBay to purchase film that is just past the expiration date. This film is still good, but considerably cheaper than buying unexpired film from a store. If you buy in bulk and freeze/refrigerate the film, it can keep indefinitely.
This is a good way to buy professional quality film, which has been "aged" to proper ripeness. Professional film usually has been refrigerated its whole retail life, and if you buy in bulk and freeze it, it will be good indefinitely. Just make sure to keep it in its container and to let the film come to room temperature before loading into the camera.
You can do the same with consumer film: when you see a good sale, buy the film in bulk and freeze what you don't immediately need.

Costco sells bulk rolls of Fuji Superia print film for pretty cheap. It's an excellent film; I prefer Fuji over Kodak anyway.
I buy a lot of film on eBay too. You can get really good deals if it's expired. As long as the film was not subject to x-rays or extreme heat, I have had no problems in shooting film that have expired in the last 5-8 years.

Go to drug stores and look at store brand and try to find out who makes them. Many are made by 3M, so forget them, but many are made by Fuji. Living color (Ekert/Genovese) was made and processed by Fuji, so I bought that. Maybe it's changed. Kodak moved to China, so I stopped buying that.
