Well, that depends on what you mean by "inexpensive" and
what you mean by "brotforms" or "bannetons."
If you want authentic, traditional French willow and linen
bannetons, they are all obscenely expensive as far as I
know.
If, however, you care to take the time, you can buy some
quality linen at an art supply store (yep, it's the stuff
they paint on) and line some cheap wicker baskets. The bread
won't know the difference, and I won't tell...
Regarding brotforms, much the same thing applies. The "real"
ones are rather costly (though not in the breathtaking
league of the French stuff) but there are very inexpensive
alternatives made of wicker that will do much the same
thing.
In summary, if you want to save on the cost, stay away from
cooking or baking suppliers and head for places that sell
inexpensive wicker goods.
All the best,

You might have a look here. Click on the English language version, then
"catalogue." Not sure of the shipping charges to wherever you are, but
much better than 30+ dollar or euro a piece:

Hi Lisse,
That is an interesting site...
Also, could you please include in your posts something of
the message to which you are responding?
Thanks,

Hello Kenneth,
Sorry, I didn't realize I was being imprecise. I am reading from the
Google groups that shows a tree of exactly who is responding to whom,
but where any quoting of prior messages has to be manually cut and
pasted, which I don't always remember to do. If I write more, I'll try
to be more clear. Thanks,
--Lisse :)

Hi Lisse,
It was not a criticism... It was a request <g>.
You can see that tree when posting, but we can't see the
tree when reading.
