Cheap party boxes?

I want to do party boxes for food for DDs birthday party, happy to go with plain ones but they're working out at 40p/50p each. Call me a miser but we have over 30 kids coming! Wondered if anyone knew somewhere cheaper or a cheap alternative? Don't say plates.

What about brown paper small sacks? Very American Lunch ish and good for the environment?
Try carrierbagshop £6.95 for 100 bags. Lots of other to look at too. Could put stickers or stampers on them if too dull.

Years ago I worked in a weekend job cleaning aeroplanes. Used to use the sick bags for my packed lunch during my student days.

Sorry just a thought.

Hmmm... like the ones with handles too! If I got the white ones I'd probably leave them blank. Thanks. Great tip!

I used brightly coloured paper bags from partybox I think but could check. Strong enough to put in a small packed lunch. Worked out very cheap, good choice of colours, easy to throw away.

Also used different ones for party bags.
