For some unknown reason I decided to browse the Craigslist Free listings the other night. It's something I do from time to time simply to see what sort of crazy stuff people put up there and then I wonder about the crazy people who go and take said crazy stuff.Apparently you can now add me to the list as I saw a posting for free packing peanuts and got very excited! Since the business is mainly wholesale it means I do a lot of shipping and as such use a lot of packing peanuts. Have you ever priced packing peanuts? They're not cheap! Last year I utilized all of the packing peanuts that came with our wedding gifts but have since run out (though I am about to ask a local friend who's getting married if I can 'recycle' the packing peanuts that come with his wedding gifts).
Turns out many people have the problem of getting rid of packing peanuts so they turn to Craigslist and apparently there are others like me looking for packing peanuts. It's the perfect mix of supply and demand. Or maybe it's more like a packing peanut blackmarket much to the disguist of the packing peanut industry. Regardless, I'm now the proud owner of three enormous bags of packing peanuts. Makes me as happy as a pig in...well...in packing peanuts.
