Free Bubble Wrap

Free Bubble wrap
ideal for use when posting items
eg birthdays and Ebay.
I get mine from Tesco as a lot of their fruit and veg comes in and is presented on a bed of bubble wrap. Just ask a member of staff - they are usually very obliging as it just gets binned/recycled otherwise.
Saves a bit of money especially if you are selling a fair bit on Ebay.:j

    Didn't someone post exactly what the OP did about a year ago? Are they being sponsored by Tesco?! Go to one of these big stationary suppliers you can get a roll the size of a mini for £20

    Yes but the point of the OP's post is this way you can get bubble wrap for free.
  • Every time I go to the supermarket I always get a few pieces. Only ever bought bubble wrap once.

    Hi

    I first did this 12 years ago when I moved house. I asked the fruit and veg staff to save me bubblewrap and they did and I got a huge bag of it. Now I just get a few sheets when I need it, its very handy and free, so why pay for it from a stationers. Saves it going into landfill too.
