    Ask on FreeCycle. Someone might have some left over from a house move.
  • I was going to suggest Asda but as Happy Nutter says Supermarket fruit & veg departments. Thats where i get mine. I ask as i start my shopping and the staff save it untill ive finished my shop.

    as above- just check its not being used for fruit at first! but stores will be happy to give it to you as they get taxed on the amount of waste they produce- this will reduce it for them!

    Ask at your local pharmacy as our suppliers send most bottles of prescription medicine in bubble wrap bags. Worth a go as usually we just end up binning them as we can't reuse them all.

    Just wrap in your underwear. Will protect the glass bottles
