I've found lots of Fujifilm Superia films in my shelf. Here in my country is so expensive to use public photo service to develop films.
It is expensive here too. But I have found that if you get it developed to disk, it costs less than half the price at some places.
Camera gallery, which no longer develops film (they are trying to push out the film users), it cost $16.00 for a 36 exp roll + $10.00 for scanning, or $16.00 for developing to disk. Then they charged $20.00 for medium format + $10.00 for scanning, or $20.00 to develop to disk.
Fromex charges $15.00 for the same roll with film, including scanning, or $8.00 to develop to disk. Medium Format; $18.00 including scanning, or $12.00 to develop to disk.
Formex has increased their prices, but their quality and cost are still well worth it. So I would look around and see if you can save money on just developing to disk.
Yokes idea is also a good one if you can develop at home.
I've been developing C-41 on my own for a while now. The chemistry itself is pretty cheap. You can get a tetenal kit from b&h for $20 which gives you everything you need. You have to replace the chemicals at some point but depending on how long you let it sit around, you can process 20 or so rolls. You do have to invest in a scanner, though. I have the CanoScan 9000F which delivers pretty solid results. It's a flat bed that does 35mm, medium format, and slides. It will run you about $175 but it's worth it if you are going to be doing your own processing.
For the actual process. I think it's easier than doing B&W. You just need to maintain a constant temperature. The video posted earlier in the thread tells you everything you need to know.
