    Just get a microfiber cloth (although I guess Huggies might work). There's no need to spend any exorbitant amount of money to keep the screen clean. Half the time I just use a clean, damp hand cloth with no adverse consequence. Your screen isn't _that_ fragile, you just don't want any dirt or particles on the cleaning cloth that might scratch the screen coating.

    Hell, I just use the free cloth and lens cleaner my optomitrist gave me to clean my notebook screen. Works wonders against toddler fingerprints.

    My local Meijer store (a upper midwest regional Target competitor) in their camera department had a product from Targus that includes a microfiber cloth and a gel like liquid for cleaning. The gel is a great idea since it won't immediately run into the gap between the bezel and the LCD. I have seen complaints that it left the screen "greasy looking", but that was because the person didn't buff away all the gel with the cloth. Here is a link to the product: http://www.adorama.com/TGLCDK.html?sid=1219786372169171

    Yes I know you want something off the shelf local, I provided the link for a visual reference.
