Source of compresed air

I find the need for a small jet of compressed air to blow out chips etc from
time to time. I am thus looking for a source of compressed air to which some
sort of air gun can be attached. It has to satisfy three requirements:
1) It has to be cheap,
2) It has to take up little or no space,
3) It has to be cheap,
I heard some people simply use a spare car tire. I asked at Summit tools
(who carry all kinds of air stuff) if it is feasible to attach a hose and an
air gun to a tire, they did not think so. I really do not want/need a
full-sized compressor. A compresed air bottle seems a bit of an overkill.
The long term costs will mount, but I got along for years buying aerosol
"duster" cans. I bet you could get them cheap off of eBay, and a tiny
can goes a long way. Do a search on "duster can", and you'll get lots of
options. I'd stick with at least 10 oz cans (preferably larger).
