I haven't been to MetalSupermarkets in a long time but I seem to recall a shelf of off-cuts sorted by type, say 1018 CRS or HRS. You could grab what's there as-is & they charged you by weight which worked out cheaper than the stock itself. Does anybody know if that's still the case or alternative local supplier that does this? Do they have min $ purchase requirements?
If I cant find size I'm looking for I guess next option is the usual buy a 1-foot offcut & cutting fee etc. I have some projects in mind with oddball stock (for me) like 1x1.5 and 1x2. The stock is dirt cheap elsewhere but shipping is the killer.
