Good source of free paper and bubblewrap

Ikea at Brent Park has an area adjacent to the tills where you can help yourself to unlimited free bubblewrap and brown paper, both on big wide rolls.

It's meant for wrapping your stuff up to take home. Nobody seems to mind if you take a whole bunch at a time.

Just thought'd I'd share.

  • Cardiff did not have any on Monday when I was there, neither did they have any the last time I was there back in January. Had to wrap my plates in carrier bags then, now they wanted 5p each so i let them rattle around in the boot.

    Thanks

    that's why I specified the branch, in case it varies.

    being a bit shirty, I would march and demand bubblewrap otherwise I'll shop elsewhere...etc....
