Use Paper Grocery Bags For Mailing

I re-use paper grocery bags by folding them and using mailing/packing tape to make free mailing bags. Just cut off the bottom, or "flat" part. Wrap the item as you would a gift, using staples or tape to fasten the sides. Make sure to put tape over the sharp part of the staples. You can actually save money on postage by using this method instead of a box, which adds weight. I have also re-used USPS Priority Mail bags and boxes by turning them inside-out. I figured they would just be thrown away, so why not? Happy mailing!
