I just had a roll processed at Costco. 36-exp roll, two 4x6 prints per
image. Costed $5.99 (U.S.). That's about $0.08 per photo even if the
C41 film processing is considered as "free". If I throw half the photos
away into the garbage, then it's still only $0.16 "net" per print.

P.S. - Plus they provide an "index" thumbnail print which in the above
calculations also is considered "free". They use Kodak paper.
