Hmm, maybe I should "food saver" (hey, it's a verb, right?) my stash so it will fit where it belongs, rather than taking over the whole room!

Thanks for the laughs!

I've actually thought about buying one of those. Not to use on food of course - but to do just what you did!

Don't feel bad bArb - since the flat rate boxes came out, mine won't either. Nothing that alters the shape of the envelope.
