I ran out of brown wrapping paper a while back and I have been using brown paper grocery bags as a substitute when wrapping small to medium size packages. You can't beat free shipping supplies!
Well I just sold a domino rally set and the box measures 20x15x4 so this thing wouldn't fit into any of the grocery bags around the house, and I didn't feel like cutting a bunch of poly bags and piecing them together.
I was out doing yard work with the very lovely Mrs. Famous Turtle today so I remembered that I saw some yard waste bags in the shed so I decided to give it a shot.
The yard waste bag worked great, not to mention they are double lined so I still have enough bag left over to wrap another entire large box. This is a great way to use free (or almost free) materials and provide safe shipping for your customers.
