Look for Local Surplus of Wire
I found 2000 feet of 22 gauge wire for $15 2024 prices from a local electronics recycler. Wire is one of those things that the wire factories can't stop producing, so there is always a lot around.
Wire Wrap
Not a lot of modern use of wire wrap, but the small gauge wire and the cutters are useful. Pretty much if you build a board with wire wrap, murphy will disconnect/cause oxidation on three wires and you'll never figure out why the board doesn't work.
