Where do you buy cheap Pool Noodles 3inch

Those bottles are $$$ for recycle My kids get all the recycle money for spending cash. Those plastic bottles are torn from my hand as I drink the last bit and put in the recycle bin Not available to me ever more... If you see my kids Eyeing your beer at an event, it ain't for the beer

Had the same problem here in the East Bay working on my DIY kayak milk crate that doubles as a wheeled cart for transport to the water (looking for pool noodles in January!?). Big retail stores were out, but I found a 'Pool Care' store in a shopping mall in San Leandro that had a ton of noodles year-round. I'm sure there's a Swimming Pool place in SF or close by... might be your best bet this time of year.

I do find that places like pool stores, sports authority, grocery stores/pharmacy & Big 5 tend to be about 3x or more the cost unless you hit them on sale.  The dollar store ones are usually easier to find and are constant in their cost.

styrofoam peanuts 

No peanuts... Blow out. Hold water. Mess every time you put or pull anything from inside Yak... I use 4'X6"X2" thick stuff.

Forgive me for I'm a newbie...but what are you all doing with all these pool noodles / styrofoam?

I got mine simply for padding on my PVC Kayak Cart.

Well, sometimes as your Yak ages you get leaks or Even a large grey salt water fish could open a hole... They provide hull flotation even if hull fills with H20. (they go inside)

Makes sense.  Thanks.

Makes your kayak into a 'Cup-o-Noodles' for the L.L.

made a trip to the dollar store and im surprised that they had a few left from the summer season. bought as many as i could. it wasnt the 3 inch thick noodles but it would do

Lowes in Vallejo has some 3 inch for $1.99 end-of-the-season and $1.00 for the smaller ones. Also the 99 cent store has hundreds of the small ones @ their price.
