Where do you buy manipulatives?
I was all set to buy a bunch of math manipulatives for the upcoming school year from http://www.learningthings.com, then I decided to check out our local parent teacher store today and it is way more expensive to buy locally. I'm just wondering if I should go ahead and make my purchase at Learning Things or if there is a better place that I don't know about.

I didn't buy my math manipulatives. I made my own. We used straws, beans, buttons, an old clock that I had laying around, and whatever else I could find. I even made my own fraction manipulatives. I try to save money where ever I can. I guess if your curriculum calls for a specific item then you don't have a choice but you might be able to substitute something else.
