I have two vehicles that need new wiper blades. I haven't had a chance to get to the FLAPS and I always cringe at the price for decent blades, so I decided to check to see if Rock Auto sells them. Holy Crap they are cheap there! So cheap in fact that I thought it may just be the inserts. Nope, four complete Anco Areovantage blades for less than $25 including shipping. That's about what I usually pay for one.
Costco is also a good source for blades of you have one close.
Rock Auto rocks! They had Bosch blades on clearance a couple of years ago. I bought 5 sets (2 for my car, 2 for my wife's car, 1 for my FIL's Thunderbird) for about the cost of one set at PepAdvanceZone.

Amazon is about the same price as Rock Auto, and they run specials often. And really, by the time you buy 3+ decent blades, you're over the $50 free shipping minimum. Rock Auto's shipping always seems high.

In reply to EvanR:
I did actually change my original order at checkout. Two of the blades that I chose first required a pair of adapters. As I was completing the order, I noticed that items were being shipped from four different warehouses and I got quadruple whacked on shipping. After a quick adjustment, I found four from the same place that didn't require adapters.

one day i'll need to buy wiper blades again. i ran across a closeout store going out of business and bought every blade they had in the most common sizes for my vehicles for 50 cents each. it's kinda nice going to the hooks and having everything from 16-24"
