You might have read about dumpster diving for packing peanuts, recycling used newspapers, begging retail stores for extra bubble wrap, etc. to get cheap and free packing materials. I have discovered a wonderful and free packing materials that we almost all have... those plastic grocery bags. You know the ones that I am talking about! You get them every to you to to Walmart, K-Mart, Lowes, or your local store. My wife and I always would save them and store them in a huge garbage bag for when we would pack our lunches for work, clean out the cat box, etc.
But, did you know what a great packing material they make? One of my major selling items are N Scale model trains. If an item is in the original box, I wrap it up in a few bags, put the item wrapped up into a free USPS Priority Mail box, pad it with more bags, and send it off!These are great for a few reasons. First, they are lightweight, so they keep your shipping costs down, which means more and happier buyers! Secondly, you are helping the enviroment by recycling. Lastly, they are free and easy to obtain.
So before you go and pay for packing materials, use your bags from your last shopping trip.
