In Store
I know there have been some talk recently regarding Poundland, but bought a couple of USB 2.0 SD/MMC/RS MMC memory card readers that I had not seen in store before at £1 each. No drivers with them, but worked in XP straight away (so might be a problem if you are using other operating system).
They have a semi transparent coloured outer case, with two end caps, at one end the memory card can be concealed completely in the reader, so could also be used as a cheap flash drive with one of the cheap 1/2/4 gig cards knocking about.
The same cards can be viewed on ebay, with a low start price, but typical £3 to £5 postage/packing.
