Blade Suggestions

I picked up a vintage Gillette open comb travel razor a few weeks ago at an antique store because it was in great condition and only $5. I've never shaved with a DE before, so I finally went out and picked up some CVS brand blades for 5 bucks. I had a great shave! I'll never use this razor for anything more then travel/ the odd shave when I don't feel like using a straight. As such, in not interested in getting a sample pack of blades, I'd just like to know if there are any cheaper options for similar blades. I'd like to pick up a hundred or so and never have to worry about it again (or for a few years at least).
Thanks!

100 packs of Astras can regularly be found on sale at Amazon for <$10. They're a nice, smooth blade.
 
Awesome! Thanks guys! If I've learned anything from shaving with straights, it's that I much prefer a smooth mellow edge, so the Astra sound right up my ally.
 
Rapira Super Stainless can be found on ebay for about $10 per 100. I find it a good match to Astra. Another easy purchase are Personna labs from Amazon for only $14 delivered. Great blades.
