You won't get a good answer on this question, because it depends on where you live and what kind of shop you go to.

ACE or HomeDepot or Lowes. That better? Or do there prices vary from town to town?

I chose not to get it from places like that because they only sold 1/8 inch. I found a local glass place, but it took a lot of calling. Prices were all over the place, from $3.75 pre sqft, to $7. The $3.75 has been great to me, I can call or fax in a order on monday and pick it up by wed on the way home from work.

They vary depending on what area you live in. Expenses are going to be a lot more in Los Angeles CA than they are in Podunk WY. Higher expenses means higher prices, even for the big chain stores.

i have always found that a framing shop (like art and photography framing) will either sell you the glass you need, or tell you where you can get some in your area. i bet that even small photo studios in malls or department stores that offer framing can tell you the best place to get glass locally.

Ihave fond Lowe's has the best price in my area.

I get my glass from a local "Paint and Glass" shop. Two panes (I hinge them) of 1/8" glass to cover a ten gallon tank costs me $5. For a piece about 3 ft long and 2 ft wide (1/4" thick) only cost me like $30 or $35. I think these are pretty good prices. Hope this helps.

Ryan, As someone else stated, you may be better off going to a class shop VS your mega home improvement stores. You can get glass of varying thickness and often they will cut the glass to fit your requirements.
