I picked up an Amiga at a yard sale and found floppy disks on Amazon. I didn't bother buying any and instead bought a gotek floppy disk emulator.

I occasionally find 3.5" floppy disks at the local thrift stores. There are usually new old stock disks on ebay too.
The USB floppy drives usually only support IBM formatted disks and are useless for data recovery. For any other formats, a Greaseweazle will come in very handy.
https://www.floppydisk.com/ this is a real website with an actual reputable dealer behind it, or at least it was ten years ago when I bought some 5.25" disks from them, and the website looks exactly the same.
Maybe worth looking into. I wonder how much shipping to Canada would cost me.
