Ebay is a must for discount shopping. Do a search for the specific scrapbooking supply you need or just browse the scrapbooking and paper crafts category.

Check scrapbooking message boards for classified ads. Many of the most popular forums, like 2 Peas in a Bucket and Willow Traders, offer a board for members to sell and trade their supplies.
