Is $15 for 45 daffodil bulbs a good deal?

Yes, it's a good price. Can't speak to the quality of the bulbs, but even if 5-10 die, it's still a good price.

I paid $3 a bulb a couple of years ago to get the specific cultivar I wanted.

HD/ big box stores generally don't carry the nicest bulbs. They aren't fresh or big. I've purchased some from there in a pinch and they did fine, they were just small and petered out after 2 years.
I order my bulb flowers from www.colorblends.com now.
I grew tulips for my wedding and LOVED their bulbs. Super cheap/bulk discounts and huge good quality bulbs (in a giant selection) that I was really happy with. Liked their customer service too. Good shipping communication.

Apparently I need more synonyms for big/huge.

I get my bulbs from Brecks (online). They always have coupon codes available, are reasonable, and the quality is great.

Ditto this. We saw a big difference between the bulbs we bought from HD when we first bought our house vs. the ones we bought a few years later from White Flower Farm.
