I hate to admit it but I've been getting mine for free. I have a brother that works for a chemical plant the use to use 2" patches when cleaning out certain pipes. They no longer use them but have a room full of OxYoke cleaning patches. Every few months my brother asks his supervisor if he can take a bag or two home. He then gives them to me and my other brothers that hunt or shoot to use in our guns. I think I have about 4 or 5 1000 count bags right now in my shop. They come in real handy when shooting 3 or 4 MLers per range session.
