Gift Bags for Next to Nothing

I went to Officeworks to look for some gift bags to do some early wrapping of Christmas presents. Fortunately they were out of stock of the size I needed so I began to leave. On my way past the registers I noticed the Officeworks recycled bags at the registers in two sizes which were perfect for the gift I was wrapping. I asked the girl how much they were and if you could buy them or if they were just for purchases and she said that they were available to anyone for 5c for the small and 10c for the large.
Very Cheap indeed.
The only catch was that they have a small Officeworks logo printed on both sides of the bag. Not a problem - this is an easy fix with a Happy Birthday or Merry Christmas cut out of an old birthday card.
The gift went in the bag with a piece of tissue paper I had recycled from a previous purchase and a lovely recycled ribbon.
I am wrapping all my Christmas gifts in the Officeworks bags this year.
I used to buy the $1.50 gift bags thinking I was getting a bargain but a 5 cent or 10 cent bag is a better deal by far.
Another good thing is that they are made of recycled brown paper which is great for the environment and saves on the paper dyes that wash into the environment.
