Great price! I never see prices this low except for expired film on eBay. That said, expired film is usually a great deal, I've never had issues with it.
Great deal if you can use them all by May 2022, when they will expire. Expired film will gradually lose color and contrast, at first it will be unnoticeable, eventually will look unusable. You'd have to print one off every 3 or 4 days, and sadly my life isn't that exciting.
Personally I'd just stick with the typical $14 for 20 pack since I am pretty judicious with what I print.

I have packs that are over a year from expiry and are still good.

Ah… do you mean unexposed expired film will eventually lose color and contrast after being exposed? (In the sense that, unexposed unexpired film will be fine after being exposed?)

Yeah, this applies to unexposed film. Already exposed film doesn't expire in the same way. You can watch a few YouTube videos that compare how each length of expiration affects the print quality.

Gotcha, thanks!
Just skimmed one of those vids. Seems like storage temperature and elapsed-time of expiration are the two main factors. It would seem room temperature storage and expiration duration of less than a year should still produce results acceptable to most people. Variation from either of those two guidelines (high temperature storage, and/or expiration duration beyond a year) begins to get a bit dicey.
