Online has many deals. The best deals of all time are typically on eBay or locally had via Craigslist. Sometimes you don't find what you need right away; but if you are planning for a project just keep on the look out. You can acquire lots of the advanced mycology stuff from both.
With all searching, if you search for the specific item it is much better then a broad search. I scored a Waring Blender on eBay by searching for it.
Here is amazon.com for the All American 921 new for $200 shipped free within 7 days or so. http://www.amazon.com/All-American-2-Quart-Pressure-Cooker-Canner/dp/B00004S88Z/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1278738825&sr=8-1

Just received my order yesterday from Cynmar. 3 sleeves of 3 sectioned petri dishes for $4.50 a sleeve. Under the alias, "Ham's Hood's" http://www.cynmar.com/item_detail.aspx?ItemCode=15023320


Also got a box of 2 inch by 250 roll of Parafilm. 120-31080. For 17.95 http://www.cynmar.com/SearchByKeyword.aspx?word=parafilm

All was shipped for the flat rate of $9.95 via UPS.
Artizen, that is a kick ass deal on single section petri's.  Orders will be placed from those folks. HL

Sucks though that the single section ones were almost twice the price for half the quantity. Those are better getting off ebay, I think. Why are they more - are they just larger, maybe?

3.95 for 25 15mm x 100mm single sec 4.50 for 25 15mm x 100mm 3-sec
that's what i read anyway.
i'm sticking with e-bay either way. i don't really like the 3-sec.

haha -really - maybe I was looking in the wrong spot. I searced petri dishes... I was finding sleeves of 10 for $7.00 oh well - I hope I like them. Why don't you like the 3 sec? I've never used 'em before...

It's like ambargh said.
Ebay for single section petris. Cynmar for 3 sectioned petris.
3 sectioned petris do take more experience to pour, I agree. Also, are an acquired taste. IME. You can have more experiments running in the same time and space.
As allowed by single section petri dishes. HL

i don't have any trouble pouring them it's just that the sections aren't really sealed off from each other and if one sec gets a contam it seems it can just as easily spread. i usually put 3 samples on a regular dish with spores with no problem. like you said, "personal preference" just dont see the advantage.
i just got some 60mm dishes from noobieshroomie i'm gonna try soon. i think these might be better for long term storage. i'm trying to get up the $ for test tubes and PC-able rack and a mini fridge but the screw cap test tubes and racks can be a bit pricey. $30-45 for 10-12 tubes and $35 for the rack. i got a couple of those blood collection tubes for cheap but idk it looks like getting the plug back in would be a pain with gloves and all.

Don't know if anybody has said this but Home Depot will give out trashbags worth of sawdust for free, just make sure to bring the trashbag with you to avoid buying them on location like me

I'm going to go ahead and bring this back. Most of the older items will be inaccurate but I think having an active thread like this is of great value. When growing other things in the past threads like these saved me hundreds of dollars.
Anyways: Polypropylene Petris (autoclavable) $3.75-$7.50 / 12 pack lids and bottoms. Cheapest PCable plastic dishes I have found over a month of searching.
