Nitrile gloves, cheapest?

Anyone got a source for cheap nitrile gloves? They do not need to be medical grade or anything.

Just when tinkering in the garden and messy jobs where its easier to throw them away instead of scrubbing my hands each time.

Im pretty sure i paid around £3 a box (100) last time, seem to be closer to £5 now?

    there's gratitude for you


    the difference between your usual £3 and now nearer £5 is hardly going to break the bank is it

    Must confess that was what I thought - hence I didn't bother to give any further links.

    Not a lack of gratitude at all, the link provided do not sell gloves in a large size and it depends if your ordering 1 box or lots of boxes.

    £3 or £5 almost doubles the price. It is money saving after all.

    Not much point ordering cheap ones if they only come in small when i need large.

    So why not say you wanted large...? Hard to help people when they don't give enough info. The link provided (I've just looked) is for a box of 100 gloves for £3.49 post free - pretty good -and in medium, not small.

    Why not say i wanted large? probably the same reason i didnt put down a lot of other requirements and specs, powered or non powdered, the chemical composition of the powder just in case i am allergic?
    The thickness of the material etc etc.

    I was just curious to know if anyone had a good source for them and then decide which ones suit my needs. When you start looking there is a wider range of specs than you may realise.

    Maybe another reason not to put "LARGE" is that one brand claim 7-8 = medium yet another will claim that size is large.
    If they are high elasticity then a 7-8 may fit, but mostly they will break when
    i try to use them. So an 8 - 9 except not all 8-9's are the same either.

    do you have any motor factors local to you??
    i work at one and we do a wide range of types and sizes of disposable gloves.
    if you ring b4 and get some prices they'd probably do you a good deal especially
    if you want a few boxes.
    just remember they might quote you the price b4 vat cos they are a trade outlet but we all sell to the public
    over the counter too;)
    ( i won't say which one i work 4!! in case i get in trouble!!)
