I would like to buy approximately 20 frames to outfit my condo, however at 40-60 bucks for decent 8x10 frames it adds up. Where does everyone find the best place is to buy frames for your prints?

Currently I've been buying the Earth Wind and Fire frames from Umbra (link) (http://www.umbra.com/ustore/product/316958/c318/earth_frame.html) but most places around Calgary seem to want $60+ for them



Also looking for good 20x30 frames.

Help would be appreciated.

Cheers!

I have been wondering the same ben... Trying to get some of my pics up on my walls, but all the cheaper frames look like crap... and I can't afford to spend lots and lots of money.

Check out Michael's for their selections and see if it suits the look you're going for. They tend to have 40% off their frames quite frequently (alteast once a month). They've got some nice stuff there, IMO.


Also some suggestions here:

No prob! And wouldn't you know it? There's 40-50% off selected frames this weekend!

Michael's always has 40-50% off their frames, it's just a way to get more sold lol. Their 20x30 selection is dismal, but I tend to get a 24x36 and get a custom mat made for it. Works like a charm
