What I'd really rather do is buy a number of sets that contain the part,
so that in addition to getting the joiners I need, I get other parts in
the deal.  I imagine this would be cheaper in the long run than
individually buying the parts I need seperately.

The part/set inventory at peeron.com is exceedingly cool; it can show me
all the sets that contain this part.  But it doesn't show the list price
for each set.  So, it's very difficult (impractical) for me to compute
the $/Joiner of each set, so I can choose the one(s) that are most
economical for my immediate goal.

Is there some way to make it do this?  Or, what do more experienced
AFOLs do when they have a need like this?

Thanks,

Well, Peeron tells you what sets it comes in.  You can go to the lugnet guide
(http://guide.lugnet.com) and see what those sets retail for, and potentially
stores that may currently have it in stock.
Or you go to bricklink (http://www.bricklink.com) and look it up there.  It
seems that there are a few stores that have in excess of 100 of these at pretty
reasonable prices.  If you need just a couple, I'd go with buying the sets.  If
you need a whole lot, bricklink is by far your best bet.
