I'm looking for these items or similar for under $100:

3M 6000 Medium

3M 2097 P100 Particulate / Organic Vapour Filters

3M 60926 Multi-Gas P100 Cartridge

Thanks in advance guys! I'm wondering whether I should order them from PK Safety.

I don't need all items right away, but shipping is about $50 regardless of the items you order.

Lowes or Home Depot usually sells them.

if you can find an Acklands-Grainger Inc. you'll get a better selection, its a contractor based store

Already checked them, they all have much bulkier masks and cost significantly more. But thank you!

They have them! Still quite a bit more ($44) but it may be cheaper without shipping... Thanks!

I work for a company that has an account with them, but I believe that you can walk into their branches to pick up directly to avoid the shipping, but I would call before visiting to confirm

lots of places....air liquide, brafasco, bolts plus, McMaster carr, Acklands Grainger, Composites Canada, CCP Composites, Curry's art supplies.
The 2097 are particularly common (we order them by the case for work) and not terribly expensive. Pro-tip: make sure you buy the 2097 and not the 2091 cartridge if you're going into dank or mouldy places. They're both P100 filters, but the 2097 has an internal carbon filter which is certified for "nuisance level" protection against odors and noxious gases. It's not a replacement for an organic vapor cartridge in an application that would otherwise require one (painting, etc..), but it's great for reducing smells and odors inside musty old buildings.

Also, Active Surplus on Queen...

Just get a simple P100 mask at one of the home improvement mega chains. you don't need all of that fancy nonsense unless you're exploring a lot of active or recently active industrial sites, contrary to what a bunch of overly paranoid people might say.

With the exception of the multi-gas cartridge (which, although I don't use one myself, isn't the worst idea in the world, depending on the locations you're exploring...), that's precisely what he's done. The 3M 6000 half piece mask and 2097 filter are pretty basic, low-end pieces of PPE - certainly not anything "fancy". The off-brand models they sell at Home Depot are perfectly adequate, but they're not built as well, not as comfortable, only marginally less expensive and not nearly as common (think replacement cartridges down the road) as 3M. 3M stuff is very well designed with ergonomics and comfort top of mind, and there's a good reason why they're so big and so popular. Buy a cheaper mask if you feel the need to save like $12, but otherwise I'd strongly suggest looking into something from 3M - you'll notice the difference right away. $0.02

I got mine at Home Hardware a while back.. but still haven't used it yet LOL

You can get them any hardware store. Like the others said as long as it's P100 you're good to go.

If you don't want to run around for industrial supply stores, Canadian Tire sells "Stanley" respirators which are in fact North. Great fit on the face, breathing in them is very easy, so is maintenance (cleaning). They come with MC P100 cartridges and you could order replacement plain P100 cartridges online after that.

MSA makes the best masks I've used. You can totally pick up stuff from Acklands Grainger, way expensive though. Welding places like Praxair and Camcarb sell them too.

It's really a matter of personal preference so be prepared to have a collection of masks before you find your perfect fit. I have a 3M 07182, a McCordick Workhorse, an MSA 817664 and 2 versions of the North (5500 and 7700 series). For me, the North are the easiest to breathe in by a long shot and the MSA is the worst.
