I buy solder at Ham fests, usually run $8-10 a pound depending on size.
Usually find Kester although I would prefer Ersin.  I buy only 63-37.

Speaking of Solder, I went out yesterday, to buy a 1 lb spool from the local
Halltek Store.  They last me a very long time, for at home use,  and I guess
I seem to remember the price years ago, being about 8-10 dollers for 63-37
Eutectic, my preferred type.  The few remaining  1lb spools of leaded solder
were $28.00(!!).  Is that the going price?  High due to the elimination of
leaded solders killing the supply?   I would like to get some before it
disappears but I walked out yesterday without the solder pending checking on
typical street prices and availability of leaded solders.   Can any one
recommend a supplier, or remaining stock of Kester or Ersin Multicore,
leaded solder?

All the Best, 73,
