  These cables are silly expensive at stores and I don't mind dropping one in the US Mail to you. Send me your address.

  For places like Walmart or Radioshack, cables are high-profit items. I'm glad I picked up a few of them at previous Propeller Expos :-)
  
  Incidentally, Monoprice has those cables (and many others) at much more reasonable prices than your average brick and mortar store.

  For those within range of a Frys Electronics store, USB to Mini B cables can be found for as low as $1.99... You just need to look around the stores for their discount baskets. They do sell more expensive ones for $4.99 up to as much as you could imagine, but their cheapo units have always worked for me.
  
  Looks like an even cheaper one available as well: http://www.frys.com/product/4795859?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
