If I sell anything on ebay, out comes and old envelope! Part of my problem with being frugal is I often keep things knowing that I'll use it someday, but in the meantime it takes up space (and it's not very organized). I don't really mail anything else besides handmade cards and items that I've sold. These days, I only buy new envelopes for handmade cards, where I think the presentation matters.

We do indeed write them on the back of used envelopes. Apparently the Laffer curve which is a principle of economics was first written on a napkin. I guess we'll write on anything!

I always find myself throwing these away, but I will be careful from now on. What about using the backs of used envelopes for scratch paper? All my to-do lists and grocery lists are on the back of used envelopes. What a great idea! I always find myself throwing these away, but I will be careful from now on.
