I prefer buying at treasuries at brokerage for two reasons:

1) You can buy on the secondary market for maturity dates that match your need
2) You can sell on the secondary market before maturity if you need to

No fees for treasuries at Fidelity and it's $1 for other bonds.

Treasury bills are bonds with maturities when issued between 4 weeks to 52 weeks. Treasury notes have maturities between 2-10 years. Treasury bonds have maturities between 20-30 years.

Fidelity makes it easy. Also allows you to set up autoroll when they mature.

I saw some quoted $95.XX

Assuming that is for $100 and rate is below market so price is lower and if held to maturity I get yield to maturity

As soon as SNOXX pays dividend going to role some cash to tbills
