Frozen mice question

I have a question about buying frozen mice online. Mice here are too expensive here, $11 for 4 large mice, and I'm looking for other options. It's really not a problem pay $11 for 4 mice, but if I could cut down on the price it would be grand. I'm also planning on expanding my collection and want to get another hatchling, but the pinkie prices are driving me nuts. I also go once a month to town to buy the mice and I'm afraid they are slightly thawed and I don't want to feed them to my scalely babies if there is a chance they will get sick.

So the question is: are there any online sources where I can buy frozen mice in bulk that are decent prices and you find consistent? Or should I just suck it up and do it the current way?

Also, there are no local mice breeders and our pet store, Pet Smart, only sells the ones above and they aren't consistent. I have had to order them and even when I did they didn't come when they said they would.

Thanks ahead to all who answer!

They have great quality rodents, you can order smaller amounts than many other companies, and they are in CA, so your shipping would be really reasonable!

I have been using LL for a number of years and I am very happy with them!
 
When I buy local from the pet shop here, I take a bag with those refreezable packs of gel with me. Once they count out the mice and bag them up I put it in that bag and the mice stay cold and frozen the entire 30 minute trip home with no worries. Those insulated lunch bags work great for that. For a bigger order some grocery stores will carry insulated bags, stick it in the freezer over night, put those packs in and your good to go.
