Prices for cigar minnows, whole squid, etc..: need help from you salties

[Mattfish]

I will be showing up at Atlantic Beach early on Friday to pick up some bait (hopefully net up some mullet and load up on pinfish) and purchase some whole squid and sardines and/or cigar minnows for a group of 20+ guys going out on the Captain Stacy with a church group. Thanks to all you guys that have helped me so far with my oodles of questions, I want this trip to be a real experience for those coming. I've done a lot of surf/pier fishing but not much offshore (hard to fish offshore when you got no $$)


Once I get to Atlantic Beach/Morehead I am going to hit the WalMarts and the bait shops for buying WHOLE squid, cigar minnows, spanish sardines, and the like.

I'll be collecting everyone's money and hitting the stores, much more efficient than a bus with 25 tourists blitzing a handful of bait shops like fire ants on a popsickle.

To collect the money I need a ballpark figure on how much a box of frozen whole squid, whole spanish sardines, and cigar minnows are each. Likewise, does Walmart sell the sardines and cigar minnows?
