i buy it (7378) in bulk from kodak.  2400 feet at a time.  it comes in  
two rolls of 1200 feet.  it's way way cheaper that way... and then i  
just spool it down onto daylight spools.  comes in less that $200  
canadian for 2400 feet.  so it works out to less than $10 per 100ft  
roll.

if you're in a city with a film co-op you should see if they have a  
light-tight room with handwinders and a split reel... that plus 24  
daylight spools and boxes is all you need.

whatever you don't use stores well in the freezer.
