I buy online if I have the time. Typically 1/2 price for the same brand of part and 1/3 for a non-branded part. Specifically, I have had good luck with a non-branded alternator in my farm truck. Maybe wouldn't go that cheap if it was a daily driver but it's worked a couple years now with no problems. Ease of replacement also figures in on going cheap and in my 97 Chevy it's an easily accessible part if it does fail.
