I finally broke down and made a flat mailer tonight. Even though I find them kind of a pain to use . . .

I don't like them much either, but the whole taping thing drives me nuts! And they often still come back barely usable. So when I use the large flat envelopes, I skip all the hassle of trying to make them re-usable. I just address and stamp the plain envelope, and enclose a second stamped, self-addressed envelope folded in half. It usually doesn't add any more weight than all the tape. Easy, peasy . . .

I like that idea a lot!! Thanks, WW!! :^)

I buy the flat mailers at the Dollar Tree. They used to have them 7 for $1 but now they are 5 for $1. Much cheaper than Target and I don't worry about having to tape them up. I just pop them in the recycle bin when I am done with them.

Good to know! Thanks, Patty!

That's one thing I do miss in Alaska...no dollar stores...
