I seldom have to buy any, because I'm a gift wrap/bag hoarder! LOL! I have a whole little cedar chest FULL of nothing but gift wrapping boxes, paper, bags, bows, ribbons, and on and on! Anyway, I usually get mine at the dollar store if it's a special occasion I'm looking for. For Christmas, I buy after Christmas, and get it dirt cheap! Think I have enough for about 3 or 4 lifetimes! Have you thought about using contact paper? I like it cuz it sticks and can be wiped.

I bought a LARGE roll of wrapping paper years (maybe 10) ago at Sam's Club. I'm still using it; it's nice and heavy; has the lines on the back for cutting like Hallmark paper; was dirt cheap. Now when I say larger, I'm not talking enormous. It was certainly a larger circumference than most wrapping rolls but I didn't need a truck to move it. Who knew it was that nice!

I have used rolls of wall paper to line drawers. My bathroom drawers are lined with a textured vinyl found on clearance. It holds up so nicely, that I haven't had to replace it often.
For some reason -- duh -- I select wrapping paper with quilting designs for my bedroom dresser.
My sewing cabinet drawers are lined with non-slip toolbox liner purchased by the roll. The material is washable and notions stay put when opening or closing the drawer. I like to lay out my tools for quick visibility. Yes, I do have the Craftsman shallow drawer tool box on top of matching tool chest with casters! This might be non-traditional, but the storage space will easily be moved should I relocate.
