    If you're in the US you can typically find them at any hardware store including: Sears, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, and I think I found them at k-mart once.

    Most B&Q stores will have at least some Dremel accessories. I picked up a pack of fibreglass reinforced cut off discs there just the other day (warehouse though).
    Maplin also sell rotary tool kits that come with reinforced cut off wheels. You'll pay about £15 for 5 discs at B&Q, or the kit's on special in Maplin right now at £12 with 3 discs.

    I get mine from Focus Do It All - they're a touch expensive, but I think they are everywhere and not just there.

    you see me screaming when i meet a local ?
    (pobably will because i have reasons to believe my celly 400 is one of themore powerfull machines within a 10 km radius, so if one would ever make it as far as bit-tech it would be weird)</offtopic>

    try aldi, they have some usefull stuf there sometimes, stay away from the pc's but their power tools and stuff is worth buying, unless you want something real durable or something for very frequent use(+10 hours a week)
    downside is you never know what they're gonna get (sounds familiar someone ? ) whoa lcd screens this week (belgium)

    I buy mine from wall mart... they're cheaper than they are at home depot, but they're just as good...

    BTW - I like the small-thin ones over the big thick ones.. they don't last as long but they cut faster, and they don't leave as much waste / filings behind.. The big reinforced ones seem to be somewhat unstable on my dremel, with a kind of wobble, which scares me (I'd rather not be smacked in the face by a disc spinning at 30-odd thousand rpm..)
