It depends.  Normal "amateur" flims get no special consideration.  If the
manufacturer designates it as a "Pro" film, I generally buy a brick at a
time.  15 of them hit the freezer, and 5 in the fridge.  Even on a fast day
I can't shoot 5 rolls in less time than it takes for a frozen one to thaw.
I also freeze my color printing papers.  Its economical to get 100 sheet
boxes, and the large batches reduce the variability a little bit, but it
take me a while to print 100 sheets.  Freezing in between printing sessions
greatly extends the life of the paper.
