Hi bookpile, welcome to the hobby and State College. When I set up my tank 2 1/2 years ago, I had the same reaction. I've bought LR from Wildside only when I've needed just 1 or 2 pieces. I bought mail order from Premium Aquatics, it's 1/2 the price, and the rock is much nicer (much more interesting) than wildside too. It was shipped 2nd day air so I don't think the shipping was too much (although I was buying 75 pounds so it still wasn't cheap). It will still need to cycle for at least a couple of weeks before adding fish even if you buy cured.
That Fish Place in Lancaster also has LR, but I think I've been there when they're out of stock. That's about the closest really big fish store that I've found.
