Mate bought mine at HOBBYCRAFT in Cardiff , it was a Windsor Newton refill pack for an acrylic wetpallette. Cost £5.99 had 30 sheets which I cut in half so 60 sheets for £5.99 e.g. 10p a sheet

Wax/freezer paper works very well, and may be easier to find.

you want grease-proof or baking parchment.
You should be able to get 3m for about £1

I think so.
I have baking parchment & have never used grease-proof.

I would have thought that baking parchment is common in supermarkets & either in the baking section or in the house-hold section next to cling film & tin foil.
Good luck!
