Where do you get spark plugs?

Where do some of you guys get your spark plugs?
I remember a thread a little while ago about this, but I couldn't find it.
I thought people have said that NAPA or something is WAY cheaper than the dealership.
Online, they have platinum plugs for about 8.50 and regular plugs for about 7.50.
If that is each (which is what it looks like) then that is the same price as the dealer... 4 plugs is about 50-60 bucks Canadian.
Is this the case?

I'm surprised the plautinum ones are only a buck more.

I bought NGK spark plugs from autozone. Just tell them what year you have and tell them you want NGK's, they should have them.

Pep Boys usually charges around $5 or $6 each for the BUR7EQ/BUR9EQ NGKs.

i wouldn't get platniums they run too hot and cause detonation, they are for old men who want to get 3 years out of a set of plugs

How are you people getting NGKs from AutoZone. Every AutoZone I have been to in Missouri, Illinois, or Virginia when I used to live there does not carry NGKs at all.

Car Quest carries, or can order NGK. There are quite a few around Ontario. I for get the price but 7 or 8 bucks sounds about right

$4.99 each at kragen plus tax. If they dont have them in stock they'll also direct you to which other location has them.
