Default Spark plug change

Guys the time has come to change the plugs, my mechanic is going to do it for 80 bucks. My question I just priced them from a local Ford Dealership and they want 20 a piece for them. Any other recomendations on where to purchase them cheaper.

You can get them online for around $10 a piece.

I am confused......your mechanic will do it for $80, so why not let him? But then you say you can by plugs for $160 , but want to know where to get them cheaper.....Is the $80 just labor? If so take him up on it and buy these:

How much does he charge per broken plug?

If I remember right from when I did mine, there's a newer part number that is supposed to be less prone to breaking off upon removal. I think I got my plugs from Walmart, or Autozone. Bought FoMoCo plugs though.
