Looking for cheap potting on pots

Has anyone found any good value multipacks of the next size up from 11cm pots? I bought loads of 11cm ones from poundstretcher - they were £1 for 12. Flimsy but fine if you take care.

I am looking to pot on some plants from that size to bigger and can't find any reasonably cheap pots and as I need loads I want to spend as little as poss. Any ideas?

    I bought ten morrisons flower buckts for 99p a few years ago for the tomatoes in teh greenhouse. I'm still using them now.

    Advertise on Freecycle, Freegle, or similar and you will probably get enough; maybe more than enough. People are very keen now to recycle & re-use.

    I tried the local garden centre and no luck. I will try freecycle.

    I have quite a few flower buckets for tomatoes also. I got them years ago from a florist in exchange for some of my tomato harvest that year! I have got all my dahlias in them at the moment- they are a bit bigger than I needed for re-potting but at least they are nice and sturdy. I might try and get more of them.
