Packing and Paper Bags

So I had an offer on my house three weeks after listing it...and THEN the fun began!  With no exit strategy and a closing date fast approaching, I made a list of needed supplies to pack up my 1800 SF expanded cape.  First item on the list was...paper bags...the lunch bags that come in two sizes, and are easy on the wallet.

So you may be wondering why paper bags?  Well, most of us start collecting newspapers, or buy countless rolls of paper towels to wrap glasses, dishes, collectibles, etc, in.  But everything that is wrapped in newspaper needs to be cleaned with soap and water, thereby adding extra work to the task of unpacking.  And the cost of paper towels adds up in a hurry, and let's face it...do we really stack them in neat piles to reuse?

That is why I have resorted to lunch paper bags.  They are economical, clean and provide extra cushion to protect whatever you hope to keep in one piece.  And they are so easy to refold, and reuse...for lunches or maybe the next move...
