Do a ebay search for Ziploc bags I found mine for less than $20 for 1000
including shipping. If you get the write on type of bags they are easy to
label with a sharpie or even a ballpoint pen. We made a club order after I
got mine from another ebay vendor and got them for if I remember correctly
$15.00 per 1000 bags. I also used the staples coin envelopes for years with
no ill affects.
