Crisco, 

Radio Shack has some.  What size are you looking for?

How cheap, what type of magnets, and for what purpose?

Check All Electronics at http://www.allelectronics.com and search their web site for magnets.  Prices range from 2/$1.00 to as much as $20 each.

Try Lee Valley Tools at,   [www.leevalley.com]  . They have a number of different types. They also carry a great supply of QUALITY tools, garden equipment and furniture finishing materials.
