i just went to Sears Hardware and pick up 5 20-count packs for $5.25.  if i
knew where there was a real hardware/lumber yard around here i probably could
have gotten them for less (you know, the kinda place where you buy screws by
the pound, not the count) ;)

just so you all know, 6/32 x 3/8 machine screws is what these are.
