Source for Picture Frames

I'm going to try to sell a few of my pictures at an upcoming arts and crafts
show and I'm looking for a source for inexpensive picture frames and mats.
There are a lot of companies on the WWW, but they tend to be a little pricey
and I don't have any experience with them. Any recommendations would be
appreciated.

Thanks,
Merkan

I've found price is everything - sell it cheap and put
the price out front. They aren't looking for art but
decoration: something to cover the stain on the wallpaper
or a gift for Aunt Prudence. But then Van Gogh was trying
to cover up the wall paper when he made his sunflower
paintings.

Hit the nail on the head when it comes to keeping costs down.

I have used American Frame, I don't know if they are still
one of the cheapest. Quality is fine for art shows.

I just looked on their website and it looks like a 10x12"
frame with custom mat is $7.30 in a standard Neilson-clone.
$10.85 in 16x20".

Don't know where you are located but Hobby Lobby has the best prices.
I wait for a 50% off sale on frames which they usually have monthly.

Those HobbyLobby frames look like top quality at a pretty fair price, but if
you need just a few, you might do good at stores like TJ Maxx, or Ross or
Marshalls. I'm sure they'd be cheaper, and just as sure you wouldn't find
two the same. Bob Hickey

Thank you and Rich for the recommendations. I'm not too far from a Hobby
Lobby, so I'll visit them first.
