Filmdev is the cheapest at the moment (for C41 at least) and they’re at £6 a roll for dev and a medium sized scan. Getting your own scanner certainly helps, and that brings your down to £3ish for dev only
Ste_S-
..you'd have to invest a few hundred for a half-decent scanner first though, and even then it's still very very time consuming and also a faff to get decent results.
My point being that although I do have a decent (35mm) scanner and quite some experience with the process - if I could get proper Noritsu / Frontier scans and dev for £6 I definitely wouldn't bother fucking around myself.
Here it's more like £15 for dev and (proper, albeit small) scans.

@Ste_S hmm, interesting idea. The reason I'm worrying about it now is because I want to get some pictures of bike bits that I'm selling - so not really worth the cost of the film in that case. But maybe I could get a film camera for the rest of the time when I'm out walking around or whatever. How much does it cost to get the film developed/scanned/etc. these days? I work in a university and I reckon there's probably a scanner somewhere around that would do the job...
@Dogs I turned off the noise cancellation thing because I do a bit of (bad) astrophotography occasionally. The noise cancellation is just an annoyance then. Might fix the hot pixels, not sure.
