That's an exceptionally good price!
As an aside, I have found that alkaline fixers with no acid stop bath are
not as good as traditional acid fix and stop at removing dye in 35mm film
(esp Tri-X and the TMX,Y,Z etc). Fresh sulfite is a must for this little
chore and I find the sulfite to crap out in my fixer and hypo clear way
before the thiosulfate. I typically have to add sulfite every other
developing session to decolorize properly. It's a good thing fix and
sulfite is cheap.
