I see you must live in a large city. I used to live in Hacienda Heights (on the outskirts of Los Angeles CA) but there were a lot of regular homes and 2 story apartment buildings with landscaping there, but no tall apartment buildings. So Home Depot and Lowe's always had a good selection of the P.V.C.. Were you able to find the 10 packs like I get for about the price I get them? If not, it must be because of the laws of "supply and demand". Also I would expect in city's like that space is at a premium, driving prices up. I haven't even thought about it but it might be possible to order online from Home depot and Lowe's website directly. Depending on shipping costs it might still be cheaper.
P.S. I was looking for 6 inch P.V.C. end caps online because the ones here in town I can only get at a pluming supply whorehouse and are $11. I needed 4 of them and that would be just too much. So I looked online and found a number of places that sold P.V.C supply's even custom made stuff. They had the standard fittings also, though I don't remember the prices because it wasn't what I was looking for. But that might be another avenue to look at, I can look some up if you need. Also there might be some pluming supply places that sell to the public near you, if you haven't tried them yet.
