Local Shop for Test Tubes?

This is the last, most likely silly question I have right now.

Where would I go to find test tubes, just so I can have a handful ready before my order arrives? I'm not sure what stores to even look in. Would hobby or pet stores have them?

This is a really good deal for test tubes on Amazon.

A few options:
Flower shops have water picks. They are like short little test tubes. you can usually get them for very cheap. I go to Albertsons to their floral section and they have them there. They are usually used to put individual flowers in. They might look at you funny, but who cares. We're weird.

You can also find them at science shops. Since test tubes are made for testing chemicals and stuff, these shops usually have them.

Hobby stores like Michael's, or Hobby Lobby have them in the science section where you'll find other stuff like build your own rain forest, electronic projects, grow your own crystals, and so forth.
