Bear in mind that $24.99 is the "manufacturer's suggested retail price". 
I'm sure BJ's, Sam's Club, and other discount/wholesale retailers will sell 
them for much less. BTW they aren't intended to be "disposable". They are 
intended to be the digital equivalent of film, i.e. long term storage. Of 
course if you are the type who throws away your negatives after getting the 
1st set of prints then they may be disposable to you.
