Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. CONTACT LOCAL STORES IN YOUR AREA. Contact furniture stores, dollar stores or other local stores or businesses to see if they have bubble wrap which they normally throw away. They may be willing to give you this bubble wrap for free on a regular basis.

2. PUT AN AD ON CRAIGSLIST OR FREECYCLE. You can post a free ad on Craigs List requesting bubble wrap. On Freecycle, you can ask for bubble wrap. You should also check the free postings on these sites because people often post free bubble wrap.

3. LET YOUR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND CO-WORKERS KNOW THAT YOU NEED BUBBLE WRAP. Some people do a lot of internet shopping, and have bubble wrap from their purchases that they just throw out. They will probably be glad to save it for you.

4. IF YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FIND A SOURCE OF FREE BUBBLE WRAP, JOIN A WHOLESALE CLUB TO GET THE BEST PRICES. Sams Club and other wholesale clubs have large rolls of bubble wrap for great prices.
