What is the best place, aside from getting a find on craigslist or the thrift store, to buy weights?

I would really like to get a few more. The most weight I have is 5 pounders. I hate to buy new, but thus far I only see full blown weight bench sets and things on craigslist. I wouldn't mind one, but I have no place for it here.

I need smaller things that can store in the bottom of a closet. I definitely want to upgrade to have more things here to use. Suggestions?

This is what I found thus far........

and maybe combining with this

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gold-s-Gym-100-lb.-Vinyl-Weight-Set/11089971

Does that sound like a decent deal? Just curious if anyone knows of better? The first place I looked online was Sports Authority and I about passed out.

    If you have a 5 below new you, they sell weights up to 5lbs for 5$ or less a piece. After that the cheapest we found was a tie between target and modells.
