You can get 100 foot rolls of 22 AWG for $5.75 each:

I also have some 24 AWG stranded which works fine, and 20 AWG works
as well. Whatever difference in resistance is infinitesimal over
such short distances.

I bought a couple of rolls of 24 AWG twisted pair hookup wire from
Jameco. It's quite convenient, and can be easily untwisted if I want
the extra colors.
