What do you pay for DME/LME?

I think one of the reasons I've never gone to all grain is that I'm spoiled. I do partial mashes, but have only done a couple of all grain batches.
I get LME from my LHBS in bulk. I f I buy at least 33 (? maybe 36, but I usually get more) lbs at a time, it's $2/lb. I think it's $2.25 or $2.50 if I buy smaller amounts (I don't know because I don't buy smaller amounts).
I was doing some searches earlier tonight for my brother and was shocked by the prices I saw. When I had to go with DME in the past, I used DMEMart, but they're not around now. The prices I was seeing were around $5-$6 for one lb, and buying bulk didn't seem to help all that much. NB almost seemed to have a good deal, but that quantity doesn't get the flat rate shipping.
What do you pay for LME or DME? And do you buy online? Now that DMEMart is gone, is there a cheap source for DME?
