Hi Mark, Been doing that a lot lately too; I have something like 10 canisters only so I don't load everything up and the rest sits inside the loader on my bookshelf. I have an extra 100' in the freezer though.
Fuji just gave a press release that Neopan 400 is being phased out, but here is a not so well known alternative film: http://www.adorama.com/KE400100.html Its brought to you by the same guys who gave us Ilford. How & why its cheaper is beyond me, but its quality almost the same as Ilford HP5+ (a bit grainier; I have yet to compare the Kentmere 100 with FP4). It takes longer to process it with the same chemistry; so far we have tried it with Ilford's ID-11 and homebrewed (pa)Rodinal.
