Where's the best place to buy A4 suspension files

in In my home (includes DIY) MoneySaving
I've recently bought an A4 filing cabinet from eBay. I can't believe how expensive the suspension files are. I've just bought a pack of 10 for £5.99 (inc delivery). Does anyone know of anywhere they can be bought even cheaper?? Here's hoping!

Thanks in advance...

    Im sure ive seen them in our local pound shop, 5 (ithink) for £1, didnt take a lot of notice as I wasnt really looking for them, if you know what I mean.

    ARGHHHHHHH! Unbelievable. I have put a wanted posting on one of my local freecycle sites and have had one offer, but unsure as yet how many they have to offer.

    Well, I got three offers from freecycle :) but they all turned out to be foolscap :(

    I shopped around yesterday.
    Ryman were £5.99 for 10 or £8.99 for 20
    Woolworths were £4.99 for 10
    WHSmith were extortionate
    Tesco were £4.00 for 10
    Wilkinsons only sold foolscap

    I only needed a few.
    Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
