Where do you buy your packaging from?

Every 6 months or so I have a scout round to see if I can get my packaging cheaper.

So just wondered where you buy from so I can do comparison.

Thanks.

Most of mine is from ebay as well, although like the oP I do always shop around when I need to buy a new batch.

used Ebay last time - good bags but had an initial very strong plasticy smell to them ( not to good for clothing ) - better now they`ve aired a bit now though

I usually get from ebay too. But strangely, like thepedestrian, mine have smelt odd too at first. Like a similar smell to cigarettes, although it's just the plastic and it does go ok after a day or two.

Just come back from Tesco - 15 rolls of brown tape for £4. Whoop!

video size cardboard boxes from Zignig work out about 20p each but well worth it.
Sellotape and parcels tape from Poundland .
Bubble wrap free from the fruit and veg shelves of any supermarket ( ask the staff first though)

Poundland for bubble wrap, brown paper, parcel tape, envelopes and they seem to be the cheapest place I know for padded bags.
I also collect boxes from parcels I have delivered or any box that is clean e.g. cereal boxes cut them down to size and wrap in brown paper. The parcels arrive in good condition as they have been protected and it keeps my cost down. I charge very little for packaging and have a great star rating - Everyone wins.

Macfarlanes and gripseal. But I buy in bulk so may work out cheaper, plus have accounts at each, so get a little discount.
