Can someone explain why aluminum foil is so damn expensive?

This is true. I got gallon size ziplock bags that had Christmas print on them for .89 cents for a box of 20 at Target two days after Christmas. Needless to say we won't need ziplock bags for the next 100 years.

, you must not use very much

Here is my foil alternative:

Wait until Dec 26. I go to Target and buy all the Reynolds Wrap, Saran Wrap, paper towels, Dishwashing Detergent, Tissues, Swiffer Items and such while everyone else is grabbing wrapping paper. Yes, all these items are Christmas marked at 50 or even 75% off.

I usually grab about 2-3 rolls of foil for about 1.25 each. That keeps me until next year and I do the same.

Sure the boxes may have snowflakes on them, but that isn't a big deal to me- same with the tissues and papertowels. The cleaning products usually just have a Christmas sleeve that is easily removed if you wish.[/. Great idea.
