US folks, any recommendations on where to pick up cheap standard sized pillowcases?

I have a bunch of old pillows that aren't fit for use for sleeping, but I don't want to send them off to a landfill. I was thinking cat pillows, garden kneelers, etc. I figure they'll last longer with even just a cheap pillowcase.

The obvious would be Marshalls/HomeGoods/TJ Maxx. Anything less obvious?

Maybe try Target?

Other Targets may vary, but at the one by me even the "cheap" ones are still a bit more than I want to shell out for something I know will be shredded in short order.

If you want to use them as garden kneelers, knotting them inside a sturdy large garbage bag might be an idea.

Oh, that is an idea! Thank you!

You actually inspired me to make a pillow-garden kneeler myself: we have those super sturdy bags from our birdseed brand - the same material like these yellow or blue Ikea bags, do you know them (also have them at your Ikeas?) I've thought to use the last bag we kept to sew some garden storage bag, but actually making a waterproof bag for a kneeler sounds a much better idea.

I think the blue Ikea bags are universal, though alas I do not have any handy to repurpose into kneeler covers. I wonder if anyone hereabouts might have seed bags I could have, some brands of seed bags are pretty similar here as well.

Maybe try thrift stores or warehouse stores like Costco or Sam’s?

Oh, good call, thank you!
