Where can you buy good bass strings cheap?

Are any of you guys endorsed by good string making companies. I'm a student in college so I'm kind of tight on money. Is there a website that sells name brand strings, cheap? Or can any of you guys hook me up? I'll pay.

Buy a set of flats, those are dirt cheap. Most popular ones 'round here are D'addario Chromes and Labella Deep Talkin' Flats.

I play roundwound steels.

How about $1.99?

I just received my order today: 8 sets for $25 incl shipping.
They are not Rotosounds, but they are equivalent of $10-$15 a set strings I have tried in the past.

Phredster.

I often buy strings from juststrings.com, but the least expensive I've found is Imperial Guitars online. They're about 60% of the price that juststrings charges. They have even special ordered Labella Deep Talkin' flats in short scale for me and still gave me a fantastic price.
