There wasn't a lot at the local Lowes, Home Depot, or grocery store other than a TON of dwarf Alberta spruces, which I've been advised are pretty poor for bonsai. I may pick one up anyway since they are so inexpensive and then beat on it until it dies or looks interesting.
I ended up with two trees for now:
#1: Thuja occidentalis "Smaragd" or "Emerald Green Arborvitae"
$12, 1 gallon pot, 29" tall, 7/8" caliper at soil. At least this should overwinter fine if I can keep the deer away from it.
#2: Chamaecyparis lawsoniana "Elwoodii" or "Lawson Cypress"
This was a $5 "what the hell" purchase at the grocery store. 4" pot, 5/16" caliper at soil.
