Just wanted to brag on my mom...she sent a package and while I was really impressed with her packing skills, what I most wanted to share was HOW she packed it. Has anyone ever used their used plastic grocery bags for packing material? WOW!!! Great Idea!
You can stuff those just about anywhere...they don't have much of a tear weight, less than bubble wrap and if you're like me, there must be several hundred of those bothersome bags stuffed in some container somewhere waiting to be recycled or reused. Stuff plastic bags in wadded-up layers, into corners, along the sides...you name it, they fit and they work.

Say to them, may the Lord bless you and protect you, May the Lord smile upon you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you His favor and give you His peace. (Numbers 6:23-26)

A great idea, thanks for sharing. I reuse my vegetable/fruit plastic bags over and over at the grocery store until they get sticky or tear. They last a long time, so why not keep using them?

Yes, Thats what I normally use to stuff my boxes. Glad I'm not the only one who does this! Blessings,Karen

That's a great idea. I have reused them as 'curbing" bags for walking my dog and for litterbox cleanup. I don't have as many left since I switched to the reusable ones, but that is smart. Thanks for sharing.
