I don't have a Harbor Freight near me, but theres one by the club.

Lets see, I see them on their site. $7.49 (plus tax) for 12 ounces of weights (2 ounces per strip, $7.49 for 6 strips) or about 62 cents an ounce.

This ebay item:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/48-P..._Accessories&hash=item2a0f837613#ht_500wt_956

$7.44 (shipping included for 12 ounces, which is also about 62 cents an ounce, no tax charged.

But, if you buy more,
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...ewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_956

45 ounces for $15.94, shipping included. That's about 35 cents an ounce.

Prices go down even further when more weights are ordered... but I don't think I'd need that many weights in my lifetime!

The downside is that the weights are not lead, so I can't cut them, but being overweight by less than .25 oz is no big deal. If I need lead weights, I'd get some lead shot/fishing weights and pound them into the shape that I need.
