Where to purchase plate steel and metal?

Can anyone tell me where to purchase steel plate and square tubing? I know of a couple of places that seem to have very high prices such as Metal Super Market.

I appreciate any input.

They have a drop section there where you can get scrap pieces where you pay for them by the pound.

King Architectural Metals east of Downtown Dallas is good if you want new steel. I’ve also bought tubing and angles from Commerce steel that I think is now called Texas Iron and Steel 2850 Nagle St (Denton Drive north of Northwest Highway)
I was at Westex Iron and Metal near the stockyards last Saturday, it is a mix of scrap metal and structural metal stored outdoors, so some is rusty. I got this big A$$ crane hook for our garden,

last year got a fire hydrant. My wife doesn’t think this stuff is as cool as I do.
