Where to get brown paper lunch bags?

princesspoppypop

Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I`m after some brown paper lunch bags the size that would hold a sarnie and piece of fruit. I found some on a website which were £1.99 for 20 but then the p&p was £3.95 which is too expensive.
Does anyone know of anywhere cheaper?

Thanks in advance

Are you close to a Homebargains? They usually have them there cheap, can't recall the exact price sorry.

I'd ask local shopkeepers. Small private firms, like a greengrocer.

Thanks, I live close to quite a large town- no homebargains tho. I`ll keep looking might try Wilkinsons tommorrow.

HB is the cheapest I have found. Never seen them in my local Wilkinsons.

They are available on Ebay. Search "brown paper bags" (obviously:D ) and there are quite a few. Just over £6 incl. p&p for 50, and available in lots of different smaller amounts too.

Do you live anywhere near a cash and carry open to trade and public / large Chinese supermarket or do you have a friend with a Bookers card. You will be able to buy various sizes eg 6"x 6", 8"x8" etc . Off the top of my head, you would expect to pay around £6ish + Vat for 1000, which will be strung together in 100's.
The paper companies that sell these sort of products to chippies, greengrocers etc are listed as selling "Disposable paper products" or "Disposable catering products". Maybe you have a company locally , if you rang them up and asked specifically for what you wanted, (without sounding too much of a nuisance!), they might let you just pop down and pick up what you wanted from the front desk?

Edit. Sorry, just reread your post, do you mean standard paper bags like they use in the greengrocers or the stronger little brown carrier bags you get in posh delis? You can buy the latter in the same places but obviously smaller packs and more expensive.

I know this is probally stating the obvious, but could you not use a lunchbox, or are you planning a secret project??
