Cheaper Sandpaper

Hi
We have borrowed a sanding machine from a pal. It is a bosch handheld thing, and it is fine for sanding door frames, skirting, dado rail etc (but still bloody hard work).
Anyhow, we bought some sandpaper (rectangluar shaped that 'sticks' onto the sander for £5 from Homebase) but they are all finished now, and we have hardly done anything. I reckon we will need up to 10 more packs - so £50.
I know this isn't a lot, but it for our pocket. Where would be the best place to get cheaper sandpaper or is their a trick where we could buy a big sheet, and cut it up or something

Builders' merchant. By some rough (80 grit) sandpaper to get the worst of the paint/varnish off and then finish it with finer grit paper (150/180 grit).0
