I get a lot of my non-critical (pots, can openers, etc) gear at drug stores like CVS and Walgreens. They're also good places to get loaner items. Just a word to the wise about lending out sharps. Anybody who doesn't regularly carry a knife is going to have problems working without a countertop to put their work on. Almost invariably, the poor schlub I lent my SAK to will nick themselves within 15 minutes. Don't lend out anything bigger then a "Stanley" knife, or better yet, give them scissors.
