You can actually do much better than this:

    MEI/Micro Center
    1100 Steelwood Road
    Columbus, OH  43212-9972

    1-800-634-3478   (Visa, MC, etc.)

Has double-sided disks of reasonable quality for $.99 each in lots of 50
or more.  I don't think the price goes down after 50 at all.  I have
ordered several lots from them and am in general quite satisfied.  Of
course, you will not be getting the very greatest disks in the world, but
in all the time I've used them I only had one fail on me (and only in one
sector, I would never have noticed if I hadn't tried to optimize it with
DiskExpress)

They are often backordered, so you might have to wait a couple of weeks.

The last time I ordered from them I bought 100, and there was one disk
missing from each pack of 50.  I thought maybe I'd misplaced them and
didn't call to complain... the same thing happened to a friend about two
weeks later, though, so I'd be sure to count them as soon as they
arrive.  This person called them up and explained the situation and they
were very apologetic and promised to send the extra disks out immediately.

You don't get anything but disks and styrofoam peanuts without paying
extra: three cents each for labels and five dollars for standard plastic
70-disk holders.
