I begin with what I think should be the cheapest film available in Italy: two rolls of COOP 100 ISO colour negative (24 poses each), for 3,30 Euros the couple. 
You must know, that COOP is the Cooperative supermarket chain that belongs to the ex-communist party. So this looks like a perfect film for my Kiev-4: a communist film in a communist camera! 
OK, now on with the cheap film parade, the ball is in your field!

I once have bought a huge package of "Jessops Diamond 200". If calculated, each roll did cost me about € 0,35 (!).
Colours are OK, but the film has horrible grain (looks like an ISO800 film).
Well, if you like that...

I think more or less everywhere there should be strange film brands, like, supermarket brands, stuff like that... it would be nice to photograph them and publish in this thread... it would become a kind of historical memory in some years from now 
So to explain the meaning better... I do not mean "film that you bought cheaply", because that could be good film expired, or good film in a stock, etc... I really mean "cheap film" as in "unlikely"

I have remembered your idea today, Orio.
And so I looked around in a store today and found this:
4 rolls of ISO200 film with 36 colour negatives each for together € 3.75!!
That was reason enough for me to buy it and try it.
I have also bought two rolls of my favourite film Kodak BW400CN for € 3.25 each which also is a good price, I think.

I had a roll developed by Jessops recently as the machine in the usual lab had broken down. They gave me a FREE 36x roll of Kodak Colour Plus 200 with the prints, like in the old days. But the price for developing was more expensive than the usual lab and they won't do develop-only. They charge for printing every shot on the roll when you take the film in, before they know how many shots are worth printing. I bought 2 rolls of reduced-price 12/08 Kodachrome 64 process-paid while I was there.

I have used 4 rolls of the film and have taken a liking to the rich vivid colour tones it has. It is also ideal for knocking down to BW, it always scans well.
The film is just like old Extacolour which I used to like in the 1970's.
I have posted a number of images (Here and there, mostly there!) from those 4 rolls shot on different cameras.

Pleased you found the photos.
I'm hooked on the 35mm film and Zenitar 16mm combo and that film seems to add extra to the impact of the photos.
I must buy a couple of dozen more rolls and stick them in the fridge.
