Inexpensive online printing and spiral binding services for double-sided color pages

I am looking for ultra inexpensive printing services that can print standard 8-1/2 x 11 double-sided pages.  The local places seem to want 50 cents per side which feels exorbitant to me since I need to print 50 double-sided pages if they are printed on 8-1/2 x 11 standard sized paper.

I tried Vistaprint and one other service but "I think" it came down to the fact that I wasn't duplicating the same content, but was instead wanting to print from a PDF file that already had multiple pages with different content on each page.

Assistance in finding a reasonably priced service for this is greatly appreciated.

I've looked around and you are going to need a budget of at least $100 for 50 spiral bound.
I done such projects and Staples or Office Depot are good.
The do have color printers for you to print you own. Then they spiral bound. I expect the cost to be at least $2 (50 x 2 = 100). Online sites are surely alot more.

I got 500 business cards from Vista for $9.99 plus postage. That cost was low for 500 cards and also low because all they had to do was print my design.

Color both sides can be done by you. Ask Staples or Office Depot to show you. Then before printing ask their cost for binding.
My experience is you will not find a lower price online because of the cost and the shipping they charge as well as tax.
