Cost of a square of architectural shingles

Is $90/square the price I should pay for a square of architectural shingles? Someone on Craigslist said he buys shingles by the tractor trailer and gets them for $62/square. I saw on ebay that you can get such shingles in Lancaster, PA for a "Buy it Now" price of $67/square. Does anyone know where I can get cheaper shingles in the Hampton Roads or surrounding area without sacrificing much in terms of the quality of the shingles?

Is that price installed? If not check Lowe’s. I am pretty sure it’s 3 bundles to a square and Lowe’s has them for $25-$30 a bundle. The price you mentioned doesn’t seem worth buying out of a truck.

    On shingles Don’t get cheap . Trust me You can go broke trying to save money on a roof if you get crap shingles . I’d get Owens Corning duration at Home Depot . Around 80$ a square .

    Look for the supply houses for professional roofers. In this area, they run 20% to 30% cheaper than the big box stores plus they will have roof top delivery
