need CHEAP bubble wrap
I am packaging up 100 boxes for school and need bubble wrap. I'm paying for this, so I'm looking for the cheapest possible place... thinking I'll check Walmart, but wondering if anyone knows of a place that's got a better deal.... TIA! :)

Re: need CHEAP bubble wrap
you need BIG bubbles or SMALL bubbles? How much are you looking to buy? How big are the boxes? I buy bubble wrap for work so I can try to steer you in the right direction...

Re: need CHEAP bubble wrap
Thanks!
We are wrapping 100 shoebox size boxes so that they are padded inside a larger box.... I think the small bubbles will work ok. We just don't want the boxes inside the boxes
crushed. We probably need 200' since each box will take about 1.5'??

Re: need CHEAP bubble wrap
Two choices.
You can buy at the UPS Store. A lot of UPS Stores sell 250' large bubble for $39.99. Pretty good deal for a local option and much better than anything you will see at WalMart, Target, Costco, Staples, etc.
Or you can buy on ebay. I get all my packing supplies on ebay because they are CHEAP (although I will get the bubble wrap at the UPS store if I am in a bind).
There is a seller based in New York that sells Bubble Wrap cheap. Here is a link to one of his listings. Cheapest bubble wrap I have found, ever (even after you have to pay tax).
Oh and get the large bubbles (either 5/16" or 1/2"). The small bubbles are junk and don't really help.
ETA: Here is the EBAY link

$8.75 plus $22.25 shipping (yeah I know stupid shipping charges) plus tax.
So about $34 total for 250 feet. This is the absolutely cheapest deal on bubble wrap I can find for 250'. If somebody has a better deal, POST A LINK. 
I normally get his stuff 2-3 business days after I pay. He ships USPS Priority.
