Dick:

I've purchased bags from companies that specialize in plastic bags!
Check your yellow pages for bags, plastic or similar listings. Ask for
food storage bags of whatever size you think is good, or if you don't
know what size say you want bags suitable for storing loaves of bread,
similar to bags used for commercial bread in the stores. Any well-stocked
dealer will have several similar bags in stock. The only downside is
that you may need to by a thousand of them, give or take, depending on
how they're packaged. I used to have a lot of friends who baked, so
we'd buy a box of these bags and split them up between us. At a penny
or two each it didn't cost us much and we had a supply that was good
for several years!
