My cheap guitar amp blew a fuse live last night

I was playing a small open mic at a coffee shop downtown and right in the middle of my second song, my $40 pawn shop amp just went silent. Turns out a 25 cent fuse blew and I had to borrow a buddy's amp to finish the set. Anyone know a good place to grab spare fuses without paying shipping that costs more than the part?

Man that's rough, especially in the middle of a set at a coffee shop. I mean, it's always the cheapest stuff that picks the worst times to fail, right?

Nailed it. The cheap stuff always waits until you're in front of a room full of people to crap out on you. It's like it has a sixth sense for the most awkward possible timing. I swear my old laptop would literally pick the loudest, quietest moment in a song to start its fan screaming. You just gotta laugh about it after the fact, right? Any other horror stories from that set?
