Looking for a good place to get lots of envelopes without spending too much...
Game-shipping envelopes- like 5X7's with and without bubble lining.
Big Lots didn't have any, but it's probably worth checking once a week or so.
Other thoughts?

USPS priority mail boxes & envelopes are free. Just go to the post office and ask.
Unless I'm moving more than 2 games, I use priority mail Media Boxes, which are designed to hold videotapes and DVD's. They're the perfect size for 1-2 boxed NES games, or DVD-case games. Use styrofoam peanuts (ultra-cheap) to fill any spaces in the boxes, and viola! If I need larger, I just keep asking for different size priority mail boxes until they get one that works for me.
The media boxes with games in them usually cost about $4.00 to ship with confirmation numbers.

These things are great. I send and receive them all the time =D.

For the bubble mailers, you could go to Staples...most of their stuff is high priced, but they usually have one no name brand for decent prices. They also have a good supply of bubble wrap and boxes.

I buy my padded envelopes at my local Kinkos. Believe it or not, the prices are even cheaper than Wal-Mart. I agree with Fahrfy, though. Those free boxes at the PS are great as long as you ship Priority mail, which you should.

Oh duh!
Forgot about those free priority boxes.
Where can you get packing peanuts?
