Where do you buy your gaming stuff?

I can accept wiggle room of about 10-15% on FLGS vs. online purchases, IF I happen to be in the store (which is rare now).

Otherwise, I buy online.

I always impulse buy at Origins and Gencon. I support the FLGS for stuff like minis, paint, some games. I also buy from Amazon. I play at the FLGS about once a year, but am in there every other week due to it also being our comic book source.

Generally online. My LGS isn't overly friendly and is more of a board game and CCG store than an RPG store. My previous FLGS that was my go-to store for about 15 years got taken over by new owners who ran it into the ground in about the space of 12 months.

Money has also become an issue with me in the past 5 months. Now, with my wife wanting to get her MBA, it will be doubly so. I always used to buy stuff from my favorite FLGS, but I hardly ever go in there anymore, and never use their space anymore, which I used for Warhammer Fantasy. These days I've slowly stopped buying from them and now go to different online dealers for my gaming products.

Amazon, mostly. Our local game store isn't really anything to write home about, plus they actually mark some things up from MSRP. They're rude, have harassed a couple of my female players, and they basically exist so the owner and his friends have a playspace.
If I had a nice FLGS where I hung out and played, I'd spend money there to keep them in business.
At a con, if the people making a game are there selling it, then I'll buy something from them.

This site seems good for all kinds of dice. I just ordered from there.

I would also suggest eaieducation.com
The 150 dice set used to be $19.95; they may run specials or sales to get it down to that price again.

We don't really have any FLGSs around here, but there are 2-3 annual gaming conventions held quite nearby, which are well supported by traders. I use them mainly for dice and other accessories. For game books I mostly use Amazon.

I buy dice in a local store, wherever I might be at that time (though happens rarely, now that I have enough).
Most material I buy is small scale or indy publisher for under 10€, which I get from RPGNow as pdf.

Since I have been moving a lot lately (6 times in the last 1 1/2 years) I switched over to buy pdfs. Those are much easier to move around than heavy books ^^
