I just picked up a 4 gig for under $20 including shipping on eBay.  The darn things are so cheap nowadays, it's not worth the hassle of driving to the store or shopping around.

I just linked to a sale on a SanDisk Cruzer 8GB the other day in the "What do you have on the way" thread in General Topics. 

I bought one for $30 shipped.  Sorry, that deal was only on for one day.

EDIT:  I see that LM123 already mentioned that.

The cruzer 8GB were $32 at Costco.    They had a 3 pack of 2GB cruzers for $19.99 also.

I am getting a Kingston Data Traveler 4GB for work.  I think it's $140 or so but it would be worth it if it became lost, stolen, or otherwise compromised.

Shipping by DHL?  I usually get it by UPS Ground.  In Socal, that usually meant overnight, but it's two day now.
