A quick search online shows that Office Depot has them. You could buy them online, but it would be better to go to your local store and buy them - if they don't have one in stock, they'll have to ship them in and might even get some extras to put on the shelf!
In fact, why doesn't everyone reading this who lives near an Office Depot get one? They're really cheap, useful, and you never know when you might want to show someone just how long a meter is! I'm going to go for mine this weekend. Here are links to the product pages: Falcon Wood Meter Stick, Plain End Item# 247973 $1.99 http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=247973 Falcon Wood Meter Stick, Metal End Item# 247981 $2.99 http://www.officedepot.com/ddSKU.do?level=SK&id=247981 ... and here's a description of the Plain End stick: "These meter sticks are made of hardwood with a plasticote finish. Front scaled in millimeters, centimeters and decimeters on both edges of one side and 1/8-inch scales on the opposite side."
