Default Is film getting cheaper in your neck of the woods?

I have noticed that consumer level films from AGFA and Fuji are down in
price substantially this festive season.

Fuji has a 5x24exp pack of Fuji Superior 200 on sale for about half of
what it would normally cost, plus they threw in D&P vouchers equivalent to
the cost of the film.

Agfa are offering 2x36exp rolls for around half-price too. No vouchers
though, but then I can't remember when last I saw a lab using Agfa
machinery.

I bought the Fuji 5-pack. Just finished off the first roll in my Leica R4
and can't wait to see the results.

I was just into a Proex looking for film for an assignment tomorrow
evening, and they hardly had any. Most of the rack behind the desk
was empty, and they didn't have any of the Kodak professional films.
So off to the real camera store; after checking the refrigerator more
carefully (since film is becoming less and less an item I want to hold
much stock of).
