Strimmer Refills

I have a Black and Decker GL350 strimmer. It has run out of string. Can anyone recommend a cheap place to get refills? Do I have a decision to make as to what I buy: e.g. could I choose to buy a spool of cord, or to rewind cord onto an exisiting spool?
Thanks

    Our local £1 shop usually has strimmer cord refills which you rewind the existing spool with, just take a sample of the old cord with you as to make sure you pick the same size (diameter), too thin and it breaks quickly, too thick and it doesn't work quite as well as it should.

    Make sure you wind it on in the right direction.
