A buddy of mine worked at one of the large electronics chains and talks of the incredible markup on cables and connectors. So stay away from the Consumer Electronics stores for those items.
A few years ago, while in Future Shop, I overheard a clerk tell a woman she needed some expensive cables. I told her she only needed the much cheaper, basic cables that were on a different rack. For some reason, the clerk was a bit annoyed. ;-) I'm a bit leery of buying cables etc. at dollar stores. While you may get some good deals, you might also get garbage.
