If any Menards stores are nearby?
About $4.00 is what I got mine for. As a word of caution. Some of these used to work to turn something "on" by killing the power to the recieving part of this unit, so if your battery in the sending part goes dead, whatever you have plugged into the receiving part will be turned "On" and left "On" til you discover it and unplug it.
I was very lucky once here when such a thing happened this way to an item of mine. Just luck, no brainpower, no skill. Bad things could have happened .

Gym is correct! They work great but always put fresh batteries in them and test all functions prior to use. I have 3 of them with a keychain remote and they work great! I bought them at Walgreens(2) and Big lots(1). Hope this helps! Best of luck in 2011!

thanks guys! can anyone send me a link to a cheap one to get ive seen so many different ones id like first hand advice to pick the right one!
