Bamboo canes - where can I buy?

Hi all
I think the title says it all really - I'm in desperate need of some cheap bamboo canes to support my plants.
I saw some in the Birmingham branch of Poundland when I was up there visiting a pal, but there aren't any in my local branch down south!
Has anyone seen these going cheap anywhere?
TIA

Morrisons have them - 99p, £1.49 or £1.99 depending on the length.

Thanks - will look, although the garden section in ours is almost non-existent! Mind you, whereabouts will they have these? If near the flowers etc I don't hold much hope. But if there is a separate section elsewhere in the store with gardening accessories...

They were all in a box at the end of an aisle. I'd try the seasonal aisle where they usually have the gardening stuff too.:heart: Mummy to an amazing little girl

Ask on freecycle. Long canes can be cut shorter if they're a bit ragged.
Morrison's are very cheap - ask if you're not sure if they've got any. If they say no, ask if they're getting any in.0 -
I bought a pack of 20 from B&M bargains for a pound. These were 5 ft ones.0

Grow your own. :cool:
It's a bit invasive, so I put my bamboo inside a trench lined with material taken from builders' bags (the ones they deliver sand in) and rubble. So far none has escaped the trench. It makes an excellent screen but every year I remove a dozen or more canes and let them dry for a few months before using them. I don't know when I (or my neighbours!) last bought a bamboo cane.
