Re: Swap Baggies
I reuse, too.
I am so glad I am not the only "tight one" here!! More $$ for quilting stuff!!
I cross off, tear off, whatever just to use them again.
I have even stooped so low now as to send my charms 1st class. I would sometimes have more in the postage than the fabric when I always sent them Priority. Gotta save a nickel or dime wherever I can. I enjoy the swaps so much that I have to cut corners if I want to participate in them. Works for me.
This is a good post!!!

Re: Swap Baggies
I always reuse my baggies if I can, even in the kitchen. I got a lot of baggies to reuse for swaps from the block lotto last month. I don't think of it as being "tight", I think of it as recycling so we're not so wasteful. Becky, I'm with you on First Class vs. Priority. I've only used Priority when I couldn't fit what I was sending into a manila envelope.

Re: Swap Baggies
I reuse the baggies, just put my name sticker on top of the previous ones. I keep the swap bags in a corner of my sewing area, so don't worry ladies, they won't have any tater chip grease on them!
