I just need a few plates to go with bars that we already own to increase the weight. I am not looking at adjustable weights right now, I need to use what I have, so please don't suggest those. I'm just wondering if Walmart, D ck's or someplace else would be cheapest. We also have Sear's K-Mart & Meijer, I just don't want to go all over checking.
Thanks!
Kristine

    Wal mart as cheap ones I know that. I also have picked up some weights at my second hand stores for little to nothing. D cks will probably be more expensive than walmart though.

    I second the Craigslist. After that, try Walmart. I think Sears and others are far too expensive.

    craig's list or if you have a used sports store. We have one called "Play it again sports" - I have to get there myself.

    Try some garage sales. I got a lot of plates and dumbbells real cheap via garage sales. You can get almost any type of exercise equipment via garage sales.

    ****s/modells is expensive-- even target is expensive. craigslist can be cheap (sometimes free!) and i agree with garage sales.

    Play it Again Sports is often cheaper than wal mart for plates.

    Craigslist > all.
