Cheap thin food bags

Options
I'm looking for the kind of bags you get in the supermarket, the decent size no frills ones for loose onions/veg etc. They must be really cheap from somewhere, but I can't find them? I'm thinking of them as a cheap/money-saving alternative to shop bought food/freezer bags.

Can anyone point me to where they can be gotten?

    The supermarket. Buy one vegetable at a time and use a bag for each one.

    Anyway, they are called produce bags and a quick google search shows you can get 250,000 of them for £800 + VAT. That should be more than enough for anyone.

    Depends how many you want but the Sainsbury's basics medium freezer bags are thin and pretty cheap. I think they're about 60p a pack.

    I didn't think of the £1 shop. I did get a roll of bags off Ebay, but they're so small as to be useless.

    Wilkinson a do their own make small and medium bags both on a roll and very cheap

    Small are the size of a round of bread so good for a sandwich medium are much bigger more like a veg bag at supermarket

    The £1 shop ones are not small.

    I find the Sainsbury's ones are best for me. I think they are 80p for 100, but they are quite sturdy for a basics brand.

    I don't think the thin ones are suitable for the freezer are they?
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!
