Saving Craving! Savings tip: Save $$ when shipping packages

Christmas is coming up quick! Which most likely means you will have a package or two to send out.

One quick and easy way to save money on packing materials and packages:
When you need a protective "filler" to go into a package that you are sending, skip the brown paper, newspaper, or costly foam fillers!

Simply take a ziplock back (any size that will fit your package), and zip it completely except for a small section - just big enough for a straw to fit into. Put a straw into the bag, blow it up, take the straw out and completely seal the bag, and there you go! You have a FREE, lightweight, and protective box filler.

This also makes your package lighter, saving you money on postage!

Happy savings to you :)
