Any good place to buy lots of lego's? have an interest in building a small city after going to a crafts show. Ebay is quite pricey and sales are few among b&m stores.

Gotta be patient if you looking for a discount. Walmart clearance usually a good spot for discounts but YMMV. If you have something specific in mind, go to Lego store pick a brick wall. FB marketplace might be another option

Costco often has a giant set of generic bricks for cheap.

Bulk, Used LEGO.
If you're looking to buy used, bulk LEGO, they tend to sell for around $5/lb without mini-figs. The best deals can be found locally via either Facebook Marketplace or yard sales if you can find any decent ones. You'll probably need to be quick on Facebook marketplace depending upon your area. There are plenty of collectors and resellers that keep an eye on LEGO listings and will snatch up anything close to a deal almost immediately. You can often find bulk on eBay for similar prices, sometimes with shipping included in the price. Listings that will take the best offer can be your friend. Most of them have been listed for a long time and you can get them much cheaper. Goodwill's online auction site used to be an okay option but the prices have skyrocketed over the years. Plus, if you can't pick it up and avoid shipping costs it almost negates any deal you'd find.

Buying used you'll need to be careful about what you're purchasing though and it will require some time to clean and sort them. Plenty of bulk LEGO is sold with garbage, non-lego pieces, etc. Either ignore them entirely or force them lower on the price. Going this route you will inevitably end up with a wide assortment of random pieces. Many of them you will never use. You can try to minimize this by inspecting what pieces you're getting but if you're sourcing them online the pictures probably won't give you much detail and they may not be the same pieces you're buying anyway.

New sets
If you want to buy new sets of generic bricks/plates/tiles the cheapest option would be purchasing the Classic theme sets. If you're patient they tend to go on-sale around Black Friday and can be bought for dirt cheap. Sets with 1000 pieces are thrown on sale for ~$20 - $25. However, they tend to be very bright colors. You won't find many neutral colors in these sets. Typically they'll have black and white and they may contain some gray/brown. You can view the sets here to get an idea of what you'd be getting.
https://brickset.com/sets/theme-Classic
These can typically be found for cheaper than MSRP on places like eBay year round. Plenty of listings for old Black Friday sale sets.

If you want to purchase different, brand new sets, you'll have to scour deals. Every company seems to sell LEGO these days. Clearance sections are great if you are willing to physically go to the stores. There's a sub-reddit for LEGO deals https://reddit.com/r/legodeals that may come in handy.
But plenty of great deals sell out fast or aren't listed so it's better to check occasionally on your own. Best Buy, Amazon, Target, Walgreens, JCPenney, Dollar General, Barnes and Noble, Farm and Fleet, Fleet Farm, Macys, Kohls, Walmart, Michael's and tons more list their inventory and sales online. eBay can be a good place to source new sets for steep discounts too if you keep an eye on it.

Supplemental Pieces
Regardless of how you acquire your LEGO I almost guarantee you will find you don't have enough of the right type and color pieces you're looking for unless you're free building and are going to limit yourself to what you already own. If you know what pieces you need specifically, you can search on Bricklink or BrickOwl where you can purchase individual LEGO pieces, used or new in what ever quantity you may need. You'll want to group orders together to justify the shipping prices but it may be the cheapest route for any additional pieces you may need down the road. If you need a large number of pieces you can check on Rebrickable and see if there's existing LEGO sets that may contain a majority of those pieces. Sometimes it's cheaper to buy an entire set you can pick apart versus buying them individually. Some individual pieces can be purchased directly from LEGO.com or if you have a LEGO store locally you may luck out and find what you're after in their Pick a Brick section.

Additional Thoughts
If you already have an idea of what you plan on building then you could also download stud.io https://www.bricklink.com/v3/stud...nload.page, which is LEGOs 3d modeling software. You could use that to mock up what you intend on building using the LEGO parts catalog and print a parts list which could be used to buy the exact parts you need.

How do people find LEGO deals at Walmart? Or, am I just late to it every single time.

I've never found any clearance or sale sticker on any LEGO ever at a Walmart near me. Also, 80% of the LEGOs are kept locked up behind glass doors.
