And if you get into nice black oxide allen head screws/bolts (like shcs or button head) then the price REALLY goes up. Also, at least at my LHS, the metric screws come in wierd quantities, like 3 to a package.
At the local "hardware" shop (more of an ironmongry imho) they sell it in both. and you can usually get about 100 washers for that price lol
