Actually, this is not even that great of a price for real DS/HD disks as
prices on them have come down a lot.  The latest catalog from MEI/Micro
Center (800-634-3478) lists 3.5" DS/HD disks for $22.25 in lots of 25
($0.89 ea).  These are described as 2 MB unformatted diskettes which is
what you need for 1.44 MB formatted capacity.  I have not tried these
yet (I intend to) but I have purchased their 5.25" diskettes in the past
(several times) and I have always been happy with both the quality and 
the promptness of delivery.
