Default Frames

Does any one know where I can purchase picture basic wooden frames on the net for cheap?

I went to some of the local stores here and they seem kind of expensive. For a single 4x6 frame, looking at $7. Are frames usually this expensive?

Yeah, that's about average, and a good frame will generally cost more.

I'm sure you can find cheaper frames on the net, but as always make sure you check out the seller before ordering from them.

FrameUSA has a good selection of 4x6" frames at around $3.49 each (try the Econowood or Architect series), but I've never used them, and I can't find a reseller rating on them. So, it's possible something like this may work for you, but as with anything make sure you do your research before you order.

Good luck finding some frames that fit your budget and style

Have you tried arts and crafts stores? Seems like I remember seeing basic wood frames for super cheap.

I've been known to check out local thrift shops for frames. They'll generally always have some sort of selection, and sometimes you can find some real gems.

Is there anything a thrift store can't do?
