Cheapest place to buy tinsel for school fair

[Milomonster]

Never bought tinsel in my life but have volunteered to buy to decorate class stall at Christmas fair. Presumably it will be binned after. Where is the cheapest place/website to buy the stuff?

Wilko have 2m tinsel for £1 each and are doing 3 for 2 at the moment

Can you ask parents to lend/donate instead? That's what we do, and return after.

Lidl have it for 99p at the moment if that is easier.

Don't bin it after your fair, stick it in and bag and keep it for next year! Our school fair decorations are recycled annually until they get tatty looking!

Super helpful responses. I’ll donate to school afterwards. Will check out Wilko.

Last year I bought some tinsel from a charity shop for a few pence a strand. Worth a look if you have time.

Where are you located? I have loads to get rid of!

@liveeverysecond in C London. Where are you? Lovely offer - thank you even if we aren’t close.

@Milomonster I’m in Hampshire so not close enough! I thought it was worth a try as I’m not sure what to do with mine and trying to clear out the excess decorations we have!

Thanks @live perhaps donate to nursing homes, school fairs (), community centres?

Just put out a note to parents asking for any tinsel they don’t want. You’ll get far too much of the stuff.

I haven’t asked for tinsel/ decorations and parents keep giving me bagfuls. I’ve had to turn away a couple of fake trees.
