Barb,
I think Kenneth's comment was to SF's snotty reply, not to your suggestion. I, too, cut squares of wax paper or parchment paper, although I've never needed 500 at a time. I like squares for round things because the edges of the divider are easy to "grab" and pull apart.
Kenneth didn't specify the intended use, so I wasn't "thinking outside the box", either. Since a lot of people read these posts, I think the alternative idea was great. I have a couple of my own.
cheap, thin paper plates (100 ct for $1.50)
a box of parchment squares (like the grocery stores use for self service bulk cookies or donuts and like donut shops use). They come in "pop-up" boxes (like Kleenex tissues do). They also come in foil.
disposable food service gloves (the thin, baggy, "plastic-wrap" ones)
9" parchment circles... 1649snippage) easy recipe - the second is the healthier version as redone by Jeanne Jones, a foodie writer. For some reason the second...
paper cake pan liners (which may be what 9" circles are)
paper "doilies" (like used in bakeries)
or, items can be made and frozen in a single layer on a cookie sheet (or whatever) and then stacked in a container without dividers.
It totally depends on for what a person needs a divider and how plain or fancy that divider needs to be.
Elaine, too
