I buy my rolls at Bed, Bath, and Beyond as well. A box of 2-ll inch rolls is
$19.95 and if you use one of their $5.00 coupons that brings the price down
a good bit. And like you said, cut the bags long and they can reused again
and again until there is practically nothing left. Someone here buys/bought
their roll off eBay; LONG rolls.
