I wouldn't go so far as to say that the local office supply stores
wouldn't have such things.

OfficeMax:  

Imation 30-Pack 3.5" Disks.
Item # 20822399 , Style # 46833 
$9.99 

Staples:

Staples 10-pk 3.5" Double Sided, High Density, PC formatted
Item # 465548
$4.15

Never underestimate the longevity of a format, or of a computer.  I
worked at an office that, in the 1990s, did their mailing lists on one
of these:

... and they never seemed to have trouble finding disks or printer
ribbons.
