Back in the 80s our family would buy 100 feet of black and white 35mm film and put it in a bulk loader like this.

You'd load an empty 35mm canister and crank on 24 exposures worth of film. You'd shoot your pictures, and then come home and develop the film. This was really the only way we could afford photography. Photo paper was very expensive though, so I had many more negatives than prints.

I do this with Kodak 500T. Slightly more affordable, but still not really.
