Are you looking for the official Chuck Taylor's? The "real" ones are made exclusively by Converse, and are pretty much the same cost anywhere you buy them - Journey's, Converse store, Converse online...although you might save a few dollars at a Converse outlet, but not a lot.
Now, if you don't mind them being knock-offs, you can find those many, many places...Target, Walmart, Rack Room...pretty much any shoe store in America, lol.
Generally, the traditional fabric low tops are $50 (Zappos, Journey's, Converse stores, and online) and go up from there depending upon fabric, design, etc. High tops are $55 for the traditional classics and go up from there. I buy my husband and myself a new pair every year at Christmas. Good luck!
Nordstrom Rack is having a clearance sale until tomorrow with an additional 25% off red ticketed clearance items. The online store has several pairs of Converse on sale with the additional 25% off (the marked down price is the one shown). Here's the link to the Converse:
If you have a Kohl's charge, check out the Kohl's Veteran's Day thread I just posted. DD15 wears only Chuck Taylors, and I got them for $30 with this sale. That's about as cheap as I can find the plain white ones, which is all she will wear.
I've found deals on Converse at Famous Footwear and Von Mauer (back room)..... just bought a pair of black converse for my daughter for 38 bucks at Von Mauer. I also bought her blue/white ones a few months ago for about the same...
