Copper Ring for Oil Drain Bolt

How many of you folks always get a new one (or re-use the old one once or twice)? My local dealer charges Cdn$1/ea.!!! Is that a gouge or what?

That's not such a bad deal, AutoZone just charged me $0.50 US for one. I figured it was time to change it, I still had the factory original with 8 years and 110K miles on it.
