    I buy my blank dvd's 100 at a time from the local market for £13. CD's are cheaper than dvd's by at least a couple of quid.
    Postage is the killer online but you should be able to buy online for a decent price -try and read reviews as well as some are cheap for a reason. Burn slow-ish ,under 24x , I personally wouldn't bother with re-writables as they are far more expensive and not as reliable.
    If you burn to dvd ,as mp3's, you will get 6 x more on each disc but will need a dvd player capable of mp3 playback.

    and saying they arnt reliable isn't really true ive found ive been using some RW cd's for many many months

    But they dont last many years and are far more prone to light errors or the dye failing .
    RW has a fluid dye that is written to and melted when rewritten to unlike a R disc that is never remelted .

    Or poundland in packs of 10.

    its got to be eBay for this. But it depends what you want them for, if its critical that they're robust then you shouldn't try and go for the cheapest place. If you view them as almost disposable then definitely go for the cheapest.
