Large Food Grade Bags for Proofing

I am looking for a large food grade plastic bag to use while proofing dough, but can not seem to locate a good source.  Typically I use them when I have 2-3 loaves proofing in baskets, I like to put all 3 in the bag and tie it up while they proof.  Any idea where I can find these?

I put a warm wet towel in the bottom, place the tins or basket of bread dough in and place the lid over. Works great as I can see the loaves proofing and can carry it out of the way to another room, if I wish. I used to use a large bag on the counter but found it could be awkward to move if I needed the counter while it was proofing.

Hi-I get these at Walmart on the Ziplock aisle.  The Grocery stores mark them down after Thansgiving

trash bags work well for me.  I figure if they are safe for garbage they are safe for my bread - especially since the bags never .......eeeerrr...... hardly ever touch the dough ;-)

Turkey sized oven roasting bags have been doing the job for the last three years [same bags!]. They're made of clear mylar [nylon film] are food grade and can be reused for a very long time.

On occasion I've used Costco poly meat bags on a one-shot basis.
