I don't know if you have them where you live, but RadioShack would be a good place to start looking.

Radio Shack?

Try getting a behringer mic. They have a THREE pack for $34 canadian. I think a single one can be had for under $25USD

They are better quality than the rat shack mics, i've had these mics stepped on, thrown (over 10 feet, punk band decided to be the people on tv and swing the mic by the cord) and they just dont break.

I really dont believe the $25 radioshack plastic mics w/ built in cable, complete with 8 foot cord and 1/4" jack are rebranded shure... try again...

Also the behringers {apparently} have shure capsules.

the question u asked avkid is where can you buy the mic you need, but im wondering can u borrow a better one from someone/someplace else... i know when i need a mic i go to my bro's old bandmate or the jr highschool, unless you need it permanently you mite try to borrow and save ur money for a better mic

Default getting the mic

AVkid: Go buy yourself a behringer mic.. they're fairly cheap and ok quality. Much better than radio shack (which is usually made by optimus, btw).
