Hi Mate,
welcome to the forum!
your best bet would be too have a look in your local yellow pages and make some phone calls.
while you are at it, ask prices and what other foods they sell, then you might find a shop which is cheaper than the rest

cheers,
Ben

Welcome to the forum. Bloodworm is not usually sold in a live form. It's usually frozen, and most aquarium shops will sell it.

You may be thinking of blackworm. That's usually sold live, but I wouldn't recommend using it for your discus, as it's believed they carry gill flukes which can infect your discus.

Another very good frozen or live food, is brine shrimp. Being from salt water, they are a good clean live food for your fish.

You might also like to try frozen beefheart, or some of the specially formulated frozen discus foods. Round their diet out with a good quality flake or granule food, and your fish should thrive. :P

If you live near SLS, then you should try B&C Aquarium in Matraville. They got live blackworm.
