100 for $14
or, if you are a Costco member, 400 for $19
Edit: the gloves Mark links to are 8mil and probably way more durable than the Costco exam gloves, which are good but flimsy and meant for light use, so much so they don’t even mention how many mils they are.

Nitrile is pretty great for almost everything else, though.
