Help, I didn't know getting these earrings out would be such a hassle!?

You are correct about your piercing stud being more difficult to take out and put back in because of the thicker post and deeper notch. You should be able to purchase many styles of stud earrings in the price range you have suggested at any kiosk or store in the mall that sells earrings. You will probably have to purchase your earrings in pairs rather than singles. Try places such as Piercing Pagoda, Claire's and Icings. Another reason your piercing stud is more difficult to put in your ear than regular earrings is because of the sharp point on the end of the post. When my children had their ears pierced, as soon as their piercing studs were removed I had a jeweler file the sharp points off of them so they could wear them like regular earrings. You may want to do the same.
