Ebay
Tie your own is the cheaoest way to go. Cost about 10 cents a fly if that.
Certain sites or E-bay. I know how to tie, but to get started takes a few 100 bucks, and most people don't have the time or money to do that.

eBay is your best bet if you don't have the time and money to learn how to tie flies.
The only thing is, with ebay you have to pay for shipping.
My local Walmart has flies, but ultimately, you pay for quality. Cheap flies tend to unravel. I have three tying kits I haven't used in 30 years. I'm still using the flies my grandfather and uncle gave me as a kid.
Your long term best bet for flies is to tie your own but the start up cost for vise, tools and material can get expensive not even mentioning the rather long learning curve.
Shipping for flies on Ebay is cheap and most sellers will charge the same shipping for up to 5 dozen flies.

I never pay more than a dollar a fly, I try to limit the extent that I get ripped off. I usually get my flies at Sportsmans Warehouse or Sports Authority if I can't tie them well enough.
Local to most areas?A wooly bugger is easy to tie.Start there.It works everywhere.I started at age 12.
Cabela's had most of their flies 50% off the last couple of weeks in store. Other than that tie your own. Its a great hobby and when you find a pattern that works consistently on the water you fish you can make tons of them at a minimal cost.
