Hi folks. I haven't needed to buy any recordable Blu-Ray discs for a couple of years, but could use a small number (maybe a spindle of 10) and discovered that the prices seem to have doubled or tripled (unsurprisingly, I suppose). Seems like Verbatims (the only ones I found to be reliable) are about £4-£5 each now, with the cheapest make working out to about £2 each (which I presume would all end up as coasters).

Does anyone still buy these and can either recommend somewhere to get Verbatims at a lower price, or recommend one of the cheap makes that won't be complete garbage? It's not for long-term archival, just backing up a few US films that I've found that are region locked.

Thanks in advance, and apologies if this isn't the best subreddit for this question (virtually all of the top hits for 'optical media' were from here!)
