Last I checked my local Mac shop still sold DD 3.5 inch disks. Also, I *think*
that unlike 5.25 inch disks it's safe to use 3.5 inch HD disks on DD drives.
It DOES tend to confuse drives that do know what to do with HD, but if you're
only doing DD it works, I think.

I have been stocking up for the past three years.
I have about 10k
stored. Also 720k disks are not as easy to find anymore, so I've been
gather a supply of those also. For my NeXT I scored a few boxes of
2.88's recently.
As I understand it the Amiga software industry is in a bit of a crisis at
the moment because 3.5" DD floppies are no longer being made. Well,
they're also in a bit of a crisis thanks to the idiots running Amiga, Inc.
killing the market last spring when it will be quite a while before the new
Amiga is ready to ship.
