[PIC] Looking for low-cost alternative to PIC10F322

Good day to all.

I've done a project using the PIC10F322 which is now going to limited 
production.  The problem is that PIC is now more expensive than I 
would like.  Mouser has them for Can $1.08 in hundreds.  Digikey will 
sell me a full reel of 3000 for Can $1.08 each.

This project is brain-dead simple.  I currently need only three I/O 
lines but I do require persistent storage.  Although the PIC10F32x 
family doesn't have EEPROM, it does have some high-endurance 
flash.  I need only a single byte for this project.  I am using the 
SOT-23-6 package.

Any suggestions?

I would prefer to stay with Microchip just because the tools are so 
familiar to me.  But I am willing to look elsewhere.

Suggestions gratefully accepted!

Many thanks!

dwayne
