It's going to be hard to recommend a place when you haven't told us what country you live in.

I'm in the United States...

I was thinking there might be an online source.  Thanks.

I don't know what's considered a good price.  Anyway, here's what Staples has: DVD DL (Double Layer) (http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?&secondlevelCategoryId=12010&firstlevelCatName=Drives+%26+Media&firstlevelCategoryId=10056&langId=-1&storeId=10001&pCategoryId=12010&splCatType=1&catalogId=10051&categoryId=27568&secondlevelCatName=DVD+Media)

The cheapest decent disc you're gonna find is about $2.50. There are cheaper ones available, I've seen some as low as $1.50... but to be honest, you get what you paid for. They error a lot and wear out fast.

Another good method i use whenever i buy a new burner is to borrow/buy a blank from everyone i know including the generics...
I then do a mixed-media burn with video music and data and see which ones perform well.
Nothing worse than having a 100 pk. spindle of useless blanks.

Then look for the sales. Online probably won't save alot when you factor in the cost of shipping.
