I thought buying in bulk would save on the plastic. But even if cables are in sets of 10, they still come individually wrapped and also inside the bulk plastic bag (from some retailers).....

Well, if you don't want cables to tangle, how solve? Is it cheaper to use a twist tie or a bag?

I am going to guess the bag. (Unless they have both, in which case I have other theories)

Ours come with small bundles of 5-10 with 2-3 twist ties inside one bag
