Home Depot and the like are good for cheap building supplies (though
often I've found that a local lumber yard will be very close in price
and more helpful).

A good local hardware store is IMHO almost always better for odd
fasteners or unique situations where you need a creative solution.  Last
spring when my shifter broke off 1000 miles from home, a guy at a local
hardware store brainstormed with me to figure out a temporary fix.
