Have you been to your local dollar store lately? I have yet to buy a USB
drive there, but mouse, keyboard and USB hub are $3 each. USB sticks are
at least 1G same price or less... no shipping. (I actually think they were
4G)

SO far as that goes, from the same site:

For $1.26 more each you don't have to struggle to make it fit. I still
think dollar store will be cheaper... I think this is the one they have:

Next time I am there I will take a look just to be sure.
