Advice where I can purchase items for the tank (logs/branches)
Petco is very pricey so I'm thinking it might be cheaper online.
My BP likes to climb around a lot so I wanted to setup some branches.
Are there any online stores that sell stuff like that?

I had the same problem.
So, I made one myself. For about $7, I bought a 2" hardwood dowel from Home Depot.
It was 4 feet long, so I cut to fit, took a hatchet to it to rough it up a bit so the snake could get some grip, and then colored it with a propane torch. With a drill, you could make some holes for artificial greenery. To beef it up, attach two side by side. And with the leftovers from the cut, you can add some nice, thick cross members, too.
If you get a little creative, you can save a lot of money and customize nearly anything.
Even online - Grape Vines and Drift Wood is more than I want to pay.

I'm not sure about your area, but I've got loads of local aquarium stores around here, theyre my usual haunts for interesting decorative (wood, rocks, corkbark backings etc). Mostly cheap as well and they have all sorts of nonsense and huge boxes of different woods with different shapes; I have even picked one up which can be used as a cave for a small ball or most colubrids.

Don't forget to check out local arts and crafts stores like Joanne's, Pat Cattan's, Hobby Lobby, etc. I've gotten lots of great deals at those places.

I've shopped at Michael's for my fish and my tarantula!
