So naturally I'll just go ahead and buy a 50-pack Verbatim spindle so I'll never lack for one for the rest of my natural life.

Then the next time you need one you'll forget where the spindle is and buy another one!
Oh please, I only have eight spindles of other kinds of optical media that I always forget when I need a disc :)

also because of online pricing and shipping, it was only very marginally more expensive than a much much smaller quantity. so, ya know. now I got 48 spares
This. I did initially find one 25-pack that was selling for cheaper per-disc price than any other listing I could find (~68¢ per disc) but it disappeared before I could nab it. So I went with the Verbatim 50-pack, which is $1.02 per disc. Amazon was selling some knockoff discs in a 50-pack for only like 50¢ per disc, but they were from the "Optical Quantum" non-brand and last time I purchased knockoff dual layer DVDs (that were Kodak branded somehow) nearly every single one came out as a coaster, so I think I'll spend the extra up front to get known good quality media haha
