I usually look in the Sunday circulars. Somebody is usually selling packs
of 100 for about $7 or $8 after rebate. They are typically either generic
CompUSA discs, or Imations. I have never had a problem with them myself.
Just FYI, quality does sometimes appear to be an
issue with some drives. At work we have a stack of
el-cheapo blanks that burn just fine but are then
unreadable in about half the drives we try them in.
After I went out and bought those Maxell and Memorex
disks at Wal-Mart they worked perfectly in all the
same units where the el-cheapo disks failed. I'm
not saying that Maxell or Memorex are necessarily
better quality than any el-cheapo disks you might
purchase (and indeed, some el-cheapos may simply
be unlabelled/surplus Maxell or Memorex disks,
or better) just that quality sometimes does matter.

I have seen the el-cheapo disks delaminate quite a lot of times.
I simply will not waste my money on them anymore. I watch for sales
on the brand-name disks, like TDK, Maxell, Memorex, etc. and get
those instead. I've never had a problem with one of them delaminating
(or forming bubbles inside the plastic of the disk.)
