TL;DR version:
Go to 99 Cents Only stores for 10-packs of Atra/Trac-II carts (Safeway brand)

Okay, I know that a lot of us come here for the DE intrigue, but for many of us, part of that intrigue came from the desire for a cheaper shave. Well, it's tough to beat ten cents per unit, so here you go.
At least at the Northridge 99 Cents Only store on Reseda Blvd., they had Safeway-branded Twin Blade cartridges that fit any Gillette Atra or Gillette Trac-II compatible handle. I say "had" because tonight I purchased what were the last 10 packages on the shelf, but you might be able to find these at their other local stores.
I know, it's not a DE, but I actually have a sentimental attachment to my Atra handle as it was my Grandpa's. And at 10 cents per cartridge, they're even cheaper than my Personna Reds and Astra SP blades, or over 40 times cheaper than a Fusion cartridge! And they give me excellent shaves; even better than my DE shaves oftentimes.
Get 'em while they're still around.
