    STAPLES was the cheapest place I found when I was looking for some around Xmas time.

  • Wilkinsons or Wilco as they are sometimes known as, are very cheap for this.
    Also...have you tried your local post office?

    I've bought it from Asda before.

    You get 2 BIG sheets of brown paper, string and address stickers for...ummmmm... I think it was about 64p.
    Just run, run and keep on running!

  • Try your local market, they're usually very cheap!
    My mind not only wanders .......... sometimes it leaves completely
  • Brilliant...!, many many thanks for your welcome advice

    Cheers

    "The Works" were doing 5 metre rolls for 49p.

    I bought about 10 of them, and they have lasted me for about 6 months of E-bay selling.

    Unfortunately, they've run out at my local store and don't seem to have any plans to re-stock :-(

    Cheers,
    Don
