    Poundland sells it, but it's not as wide as the post offices, but would be ok for plates etc...

    Our local farm supplies shop does a great deal on it - as would most garden centres, I would think- on a great big roll and you buy it by the metre, as it is used within greenhouses etc for insulation. Definitely worth checking out!

    I find a place near me which sells packaging boxes sell bubble wrap , and you can ask for how ever much you want , This also works out very cheap if you need lots or just a small bit because they cut it off in meteres off a large roll for you.
    So maybe check your local places that sell packaging supplies - small bussiness ones are definately cheaper than high street brand shops.

    Try one of the home storage places - they seem to sell it fairly cheap.

    Asda always has lots in thier banana boxes we asked the manager if we could take some and he said sure. We never had to buy any bubble wrap at all and if your lucky it comes in little envelopes with the sticky still on. ;)

    Davpack do cheap moving stuff like bubble wrap, moving boxes and even a special page dedicated just to moving house where you click the drop down menu to go through a list of items you might need.

    The items are:
    Moving Boxes
    Single Wall Boxes
    Double Wall Boxes
    Wardrobe Boxes
    Picture Boxes
    Tall Boxes
    Archive Boxes
    Really Useful Boxes
    Bubble Wrap
    Corrugated Paper
    Bio-Loosefil
    Packaging Tape
    Tape Dispenser
    Tissue Paper
    Garment Bags

    One little tip to avoid paying for loose fill is to put waste paper through a shredder to make handy paper loosefill. Use this as packaging within the boxes to fill voids and provide cushioning.
