I am copying this over from the TGA forum, as I didn't get as much response there as I thought I would. I will try to update this first post and keep it handy for those looking for information.
So I thought it would be handy to list some places I got random things for geocaching. Feel free to contribute.
Baggies- Walgreens $3 for 50 of them or Walmart (arts & crafts) 100 for $2
Ammo Cans- GC1ABMK has 50cal cans for under $10 apiece ($7)
Small pens- Target has a small 10 pack (I think) for around $2 a pack in their goodie aisle.
Matchstick containers- Walmart for ~$1.
Silica gel- Hobby Lobby has a huge pack in their flowers section ($7). Still working on making baggies of this to place in caches.
Rare Earth Magnets: http://www.kjmagnetics.com (http://www.kjmagnetics.com/)
Preforms regular: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/test-tubes
Preforms large: http://www.stevespanglerscience.com/product/1673
Nanos: my best luck has been with Ebay, but you have to buy in bulk
Decon containers?
Best deals on TBs?
Random:
http://www.drivescachecloset.com/
www.landsharkz.ca
Any other things that people have randomly found for geocaching? I know there are plenty of sites out there, any with exceptional deals?
I've noticed Target has a nice swag selection towards the front (the "goodie" aisle).
