At my WalMart (in Orange County, CA), they are now carrying the Carl Cutters--the small and the larger ones plus the additional cutting, scoring and perforating blades...it seems to me that the prices were competitive or less than some that I had seen listed here on SCS.
I'm not sure if they carry them, but also check out
www.viking.com -- they seem to have some awesome prices on stamping necessities!
Good luck and have fun!
