If there's ever a problem with buying something on your own credit card you can initiate a dispute and your money will be refunded by the credit card company. I'm sure it's not anywhere near as easy on a disposable credit card, so keep in mind that it's probably a better idea money-wise to use your own. That doesn't apply to debit cards though, avoid using those online whenever possible.
That said, I believe shopper's drug mart sells them.

I feel the same way about buying online, so what i did was set up a paypal account. paypal's business model is keeping your online purchases secure and in case your wondering, they make all their money by charging a small fee to vendors (so that way they dont need to sell your info :b )
otherwise, im pretty sure ive seen disposable cards at the grocery store too

I totally agree with this paranoia, shoppers,metro, pretty much every major grocery store carries the $50 prepaid Visas.
Good luck.
