cellophane bags for cookies/candies

[plateaugal]

It's that time of year and I need small to medium cellophane bags to package my goodies. Does anyone know where I can get cellophane bags (I'd buy at least 100) downtown? I don't have a car to go all the way out to Ares.

Just happen to be searching the internet for the same thing - check these out - very cheap! Note they have lesser quantities and other sizes...

There's a place up on Thimmens (I think), I forget the name but will find out later. Ended up buying a whole bunch for a charity event for putting small edible gifts in. They were pennies per bag if I recall correctly.

And the name of the place is Emballages Toutes. It's accessible by bus from Cote Vertu or Du College Metro stations I believe.

Hope this helps,

If you are not buying them from a food store, make sure your bags are food grade. Generally, anything thin and opaque that looks like a loot bag is not food grade.

The ones at Omer Deserres are. They are the same cellophane bags that you can get at kitchen supplies stores like Ares

I got some last week at the Omer Deserres in Montreal Trust. I think I paid 5$ for 100

I some some fancy packages of cellophane at Jean Coutu.

Ares? For bags? Geez, their stuff is so overpriced, I wouldn't even consider them for little baggies.
Any supermarket that sells no-name brands will have little sandwich bags of the ziploc type or just fold-over variety.
As mentioned, Dollarama has bags, little tins, and boxes as well, that are great for Christmas cookies. I stocked up there last week for this weekend's bake-a-thon.

Try a bulk food store. The one I go to (not downtown) lets me buy spice bags (the small, thin, plain ones) for 3 cents each, and they also stock the specialty printed, crisp cellophane bags for around 15-25 cents each.

Try a stationery store - they sell them with party goodies - I know Papeterie Westmount (Sherbrooke and Prince Albert in Westmount) has tons of different kinds, in many patterns and solid colours, usually in packs of 20 or so. I remember searching downtown last year for them at all of the stationery stores, and none of them had, but Papeterie Westmount always does...
