Where are the '09 and '10 Aveo owners getting the cartridge type oil filters? I found them at Napa, but 9.88 is pricey. Anyone found them cheaper?

I order mine thru Factory Motor Parts. Genuine AC Delco filter. My cost thru work ends up being well under $5.
I stocked up and have a case now. haha
I'm severly jealous. My discount came out to $8 from the dealershipQuote:

Best local pricing I have found is from Carquest Auto parts. $6.88 each and they are the Wix filter with Carquest label.
FYI: dealer was not too bad at $8.95.
The reason these filters are so much more money is because they are made in much lower numbers than most of the old-style can filters.
There's a reason a PF47 filter for a Chevy V6 engine is $2 is because there are about 787,987,174,165,740.2 Chevrolet V6 engines on the road, and every one of them needs a clean filter every 2-5k miles.
