Envelopes. I’m not putting a check in it and sending it back.
I’ve signed up for every E-bill that I can, but I still get those annoying pieces of junk mail or the occasional annual bill that comes with one of those return envelopes. I used to just throw them away, but the guilt has finally caught up to me. There has to be a way to use these things….so I started saving them.
Now I just have a pile of envelopes that I don’t know what to do with. I take the opportunity to put my rent checks in them, or collect receipts in them, or stash a few coupons in one when I’m running off to the store…but there’s still a bounty of them. What on Earth am I to do with them?
I need your ideas….

Send the kids lunch money in them to school.
Send notes to school teachers in them if you need to send communication back and forth at all.
Use them as scrap paper for taking phone messages, writing notes, or making lists….
I’ve seen people put a mailing address label over the plastic window or the pre-printed address and re-use the envelope for mailing something else.
Use them in a scrapbook as a pocket to hold keepsakes. Just glue the front of the envelope to the page, and the back of the envelope opens to stuff items in.
