Freegans unite !!!
I am a tightwad and proud of it. My idea is good for your wallet and good for the earth. I wanted to share with my fellow Listians how I get almost all of my bubble wrap and packing materials FREE. As a loyal Listian I go to the post office to ship several times a week. My post office is large and very busy. People routinely unpack their boxes & packages in the post office, and leave all their expensive packing materials in or beside the trashcans. When I am there, I discreetly, pull bubble wrap, bags, boxes, shredded paper, packing peanuts, etc., out of the trashcans. Because of this, I rarely ever pay for packing materials. Now I don't go crazy and dump the trash out onto the floor to dig through it !!! But if a big wad of bubble wrap is laying on the top, I grab it. If someone leaves a nice box on the floor by the trashcan, I pick it up. One man's trash is another man's treasure.
