Yes, you can get decent but cheap yarn at Michaels, or JoAnn's or other big box stores.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

You can get a good range of needles and stuff at Goodwill for lime 10 cents usually.

Try the chain stores.
There are chain knitting stores? If you have a moment, would you mind suggesting some names, please? Googling "chain knitting store" doesn't really bring up much of anything.
ETA: Oh, you mean chain craft stores? OK, I'll see what the non-Hobby Lobby stores have. Thanks!

Oh, right, I still haven't gone to Michael's for my theoretical baby blanket yarn. I better get on that soon, the shower is in two weeks.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I don't knit too much, but I buy most of my stuff at Michael's or Jo-Ann. There's just one local store near me, and nearly everything they stock is wool, which I can't use.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Speaking of Michael's, I can't decide if I want to decorate for Halloween in some way, and I need to decide that for sure before I randomly wander in there and spend a shitton of money.

I think maybe I will decorate my deck at the Wisconsin house.

I have a friend who picks up all manner of knitting needles and crochet hooks at the resale shop at the local senior home.

The local yarn store is where you go when you want high-end stuff--or if you have money and want to support local. Michael's and Jo-Ann's will get you decent stuff cheap, especially if you look for sales and coupons. Signing up for their rewards programs is very lucrative.
Are you sensitive to all acrylics? There are some very nice, soft, snuggly ones out there.
edit: also consider looms, if you have trouble with the needles. My arthritic hands just can't cope with the needles.
