You can usually still find boxes of new double-density (720k) disks at 
places like Staples and Wal-Mart, however, the cost is $3.00 a box or 
 higher.  Besides the places Neil mentioned, I've had good luck in the 
office supply sections at various surplus shipment, odd-lot, or whatever 
you want to call them.  I just got new Dyson disks in plastic cases for 
a buck a box in one of these places.  Around Southern New England 
they're called Odd-Job,  Surplus Unlimited, Ocean State Job Lot, etc.
