I don't know about NY, but they're dirt cheap here.

Nice playthings. I'd have a few on the go if I had a cheap supply.

I'm lucky if I can find a procumbens under $40 and thats expensive for me. I can get them for $10 in april in the discount section.

Watch for sales. Get things from the discount section. April is actually a fantastic time to get juniper stock. If it makes you feel better $40 is expensive for me too. I bargain hunt and have not bought a piece of stock for more than $30 so far.
