I had to go to Wal-Mart today to by supplies and what to my surprise very large rolls of bubble wrap for $1.50. Bought a bunch as that is all I use. Now if Quill only had those envelopes for sale I would be really set. Maybe it isn't the expensive stuff but it is still bubble wrap. Office Max large rolls are $9.00

Wow! That was a good deal! Our local Wal-Mart charges over $4.00 for the large roll and it stays sold out. Must be alot of eBayers around here.

You might also want to try to hit up a few local furniture stores. Often larger pieces of furniture will come completely wrapped up in the stuff. We have gotten loads of it from a local furniture store for no cost. They are happy to get rid of it.

Anytime you can get free packing material that is money in your pocket. I also work at a garden center and boxes are abundant there not the big ones but the ones I can use for my jewelry. Now if I could find a free peanut place everything would be good.

Check the garbage at 5&10 cent stores.
Our local one throws away about 50 cu. ft. a week.

Libra, don't you have a Dollar General, or a Hallmark type store that sells lots of knick knacks? those are the stores that have oodles of peanuts.

Someone also mentioned once that a pharmacy or a GNC are good places for peanuts. We have a neighbor that gives us our peanuts - she sells some kind of nutritional supplement out of her house and doesn't use the peanuts.
Hey Libra - how bout dem Packers! (I'm going to be soooo tired at work today )

Wow! what a game. They looked as though they knew what they were doing for a change.
When our items come to unpack they are usually in the box and molded into the Styrofoam, we don't get any peanuts anymore.
But I am thankful for free boxes..Most of my things go 1st class.

Well Classicrock you have your opinion and the packerfans have theirs. In all the years that he has been playing he has never been a whinner. I think you need to drop the h and then you will know Brett Favre...
He will make the Hall of Fame before you.
Sorry board couldn't resist.
Thanks for all the free information about where to get free packing supplies, I appreciate it.
