I got mine from ebay, I seem to remember they were cheaper on there than anywhere I'd seen. They've lasted pretty well, but they were a bit of a funny colour. Looked blue in the pic but were lilac when they came!

I bought 20 for £20.00 from Mothercare. they're in the sale atm.

I got mine secondhand from an NCT sale. They were about 10p or 20p each. Perfectly good even now, nearly 3 years on.

Mine were from babies r us, 10 for £6 on sale at the moment. Think they were cheap in asda as well, I got bibs from there 10 for £3 which seemed good to me! Xxx

jasmine51 · 02/01/2011 17:47

Tescos 12 for £5

IWillCountToThree · 02/01/2011 17:49

I got a dozen for £7 from ebay, still using them 18m later!

Asda

sayjay · 02/01/2011 17:50

oops, meant to add good quality, reasonable price

babyduesoon · 02/01/2011 19:01

Or, if you have time/energy you buy sheets of muslin from a local fabric shop for pence per square metre, and chop it up yourself?

smoggii · 02/01/2011 19:25

Tesco do 12 for £5 on their website but i couldn't find them in store and they were always out of stock on the site! I got a pack of 5 for £2.99 from TK Maxx and some others from Asda, can't remember how much they were but not too much.

justbeingmummy · 03/01/2011 08:16

Thanks everyone. Smoggii I managed to find those ones on Tesco Direct so have ordered to packs to be delievered to my nearest store they work out at about 49p each so much better value

clarebear1 · 03/01/2011 16:15

Got mine in asda, pack of 3 for £3.50 i think or maybe slightly cheaper.

wigglesrock · 03/01/2011 16:23

Have used Tesco and Asda in the past and am starting to get hospital bag together so looking for more again. The best I ever had was from M&S but not sure if they still do them.

me23 · 03/01/2011 18:21

bought some today in asda 3 for £3.

spikydahlia · 03/01/2011 20:13

I bought a load second hand off ebay dirt cheap. They did look a bit used but they washed up brilliantly in a hot wash in the machine. Considering what they are used for it doesn't matter anyway if they are not startling white.

I found them to have so many uses-the more the merrier!

LilRedWG · 03/01/2011 20:15

12 for £5.78 from Tesco's Direct.

sungirltan · 03/01/2011 20:15

dont get them from boots. they go all crinkly when you wash them :-(
