    If you see any split bags the sheds or merchants will usually discount them.
    I don't have a car so carrying might be an issue. I need such a small amount, I was hoping there was a repair kit or tester bags available!

    Get yourself a granny trolley - Great for lugging heavy stuff home. Although, the lightweight models don't cope too well with 25Kg bags.

    Treasure the moments that you have. Savour them for as long as you can for they will never come back again.

    So there aren’t other options other than to buy these big bags of sand and cement then?

    You can get a 10 kg ready mix in a tub. The tub can be used to mix it in. Amazon do them.
