michaels, they support blm and you can buy shaped beads too

i agree with lavendeath. nowhere i've found has the same value of bead vs cost as walmart. i get a pack of 500 beads for 1.97, which is ~0.00394 per bead. as opposed to sites like ponybeadstore which sell 500 beads for 2.89, which is ~0.00578 per bead. it may not seem like a big difference, but when you buy in bulk it adds up FAST. factor in costs for shipping and you're looking at some pretty hefty purchases. walmart has free pickup right now because of covid so you don't even have to go in, you can just order them and have someone bring it to your car, or order it alongside groceries.
the only problem i've had is availability. my walmart only sells a neon blend, a rainbow blend, and some different letters as well as black/white/red in their own packs, but they are never in stock. lots of people bored at home, so they sell out super fast.

idk if it'll help but oriental trading seems to have a good amount of beads for an oh k price.

I recommend dollar tree and michaels!

Dollar tree they have beads that come in 400 packs they have see through colored ones too
