8" x 10" photo frames

Just wondering if anyone has a good deal for photo frames for printed photos? Yes, that's right. The old fashioned ones, not the new fangled digital ones.

Ideally, if they have a mat, that's a good thing, but I'd like only a small (say, 1-2cm) mat around the outside of the photo. I had hoped to take advantage of a recent sale at Target with zero mat 8" x 10" (20cm x 25cm) frames but it turned out they were TOO cheap and the glass pressed against the photo, creating moisture points. I've seen some frames with large mats (~5cm) but that makes the frame too large (I'm looking to hang them between the picture rail on a wall, and the ceiling).

I'm looking for ~20 frames so perhaps someone knows of a deal even at a specialist framing place?

Preferably, to minimise postage costs (and because I like to physically see the frames before purchase), I'm looking for a place in the city / northern suburbs of Melbourne.

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

  • ikea?

  • Reject shop are reasonably priced, not sure what they'd have currently, but I'm about to head down to Epping reject shop for toastems :P so I'll let you know when I get back.

    Depending on how far out in the northern suburbs you are, at Plenty Valley there's this little candle & deco shop near EB games that is incredibly priced. I got some NICE 4x6 frames there just before Christmas for $1.50, so I'd assume their 8x10s would be reasonably priced too.

  • kmart, bigw, target, basically any of those retail stores

  • Reject shop had quite a decent variety.

    Best ones I noticed:
    Thin black frame with, no mat, 8x10, $3.
    Light wood classic style frame, with mat, 8x10 photo size, 10x13 overall size, $12
    Heaps in between, the one mentioned was the only matted one though.
