Michaels is the best place to look!! They have the plain cardboard circles along with the foiled/decorative circles. The best part is you can get coupons from their website for 40% off every week, and you can get them pretty cheap!!
I get mine from Hobby Lobby. They do the 40% off coupons too, but they don't have all the sizes, just the basic ones. 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14, I think. Then some rectangles ones, but I think that's it.
GFS has pizza cardboard circles which are the same thing. Box of 100 is like $12. Only thing is they only come in bigger sizes which is OK if you don't mind cut them down. I know they come in 12" & 16". Sorry I don't remember if they had other sizes.
If you're looking for a HUGE amount for a GREAT price you can get them on uline.com, they have all the sizes. The 8 inch rounds are like $43 for 250 boards. Like I said HUGE amounts.

Thanks, they have good prices, it appears!
BRP Box shop! Fast shipping and great prices!!
I buy the majority of my supplies from countrykitchensa.com ......they have the best prices I've found so far. Their shipping rates aren't bad either. The way gas prices are now, it would cost me more to drive out to get supplies.
i use webstaurantstore.com. They are $38.49 for 250 10 inch. Shipping is fast.
Sorry to be ignorant, but can someone tell me what GFS stands for??? Please. And I buy smaller quantities at Joann's. Like Michaels they have 40-50% coupons every week.
GFS is Gordon Food Supply. I believe they are a supplier to restaurant and businesses. There are different ones throughout the US, in my region it's TPC and PFG (actually both the same company, just different names in different towns), and SYSCO is another big one.
Since I'm new at this I have a question that might seem silly, but I'm going to ask anyway 
There are cardboard rounds and then there are rounds that have a waxy shine to them. What is the difference in how they're used? I'm just not sure which I should use. Also there are paper liners sold, but what for? I've never seen any tutorials where they are used.

The wax-coated circles are mostly sold for cheesecakes. You could use them, but they're more expensive and you could risk having your cake slide off easily.
Paper liners? Are you asking about parchment paper pan liner sheets or parchment paper circles? The pre-cut circles (and sheets) can be used to line your pans during baking for quick release. They can also be used like waxed paper in between tiers to prevent the icing from sticking to the bottom of the boards on upper tiers. There are many uses for parchment sheets... if that's what you're more interested in, let me know. HTH.
