Depending on what you're looking for, places like Zellers actually have some nice stuff sometimes. My all time favorite though is Michaels. They pretty much always have their own brand on sale for 40-50% off, and they're really nice. They also do custom framing for pretty reasonable prices. Photo stores are a good place to check too. Knowing a more specific location would help.

I actually buy my frames (for photos I'm hanging in my house) at IKEA. If you're just doing a quick display and not selling the photos/frames together I think it's a reasonable solution for the cost. I buy the frames then get a new matte made locally and foamboard for the backing instead of the cardboard that comes with it (but if it's for quick shows this might not matter either).

I live no where near an IKEA so I'm not sure what current running prices are though.
