Jiffy Bags (used)

Options
Does anyone want to get rid of their used jiffy bags?

It always seems a waste that so often people throw them away. I would very much welcome them and would be happy to send you the postage costs by paypal or stamps. I would prefer a minimum of 8 or so bags inside one another.

If you have any please PM me.

Thanks in advance. :T :T

    I never bought one, I always reuse them and shove a printed A4 folded with address on to tidy it up.

    No longer a user, goodbye folks. PLEASE delete my account. Thank you

    I'm pleased you guys also re-use these bags - I hate this kind of waste! Thought it was worth a go seeing if anyone had some spare jiffy bags - it would save them being wasted; and yes (!) save me having to buy some new ones...

    Sounds like a great idea - unfortunately there isn't one near to where I live!

    I not only re-use the jiffy bags but I stick my freebie address lables on them and write the address with my freebie pen. 1a_y_grin.gif
