You can get it for FREE from your local newspaper. I went down to my newspaper and asked if they had any "end rolls". When they get near the end of a roll of newspaper that they're printing on, they'll swap it out for a new one, and they give the ends away to anyone who asks. It's a roll about 4 feet tall and who knows how many thousands of feet long - way more (CLEAN!) newspaper than I'll ever use in this lifetime.
I've used it for sewing, making patterns, wadding up and putting it in boxes I'm shipping, art paper for the kids to draw and paint on, project paper for school and after-school activities. It was perfect when my kids did a community-service project for the Humane Society - they took several layers of newspaper, cut them, stapled corners into them, and presto! instant disposable litter boxes.
