Ever have "sticker shock" when you go to mail a package?

Last week, I took a package to the Staples to send UPS to my nephew in California (I'm in Pennsylvania).  The box was about the size of a sewing machine and not really that heavy.  I'm not sure WHAT I expected it to cost but THIRTY-SIX dollars was NOT it.

WHOA!!!

Nothing I could do but go ahead and send it though.  I've been procrastinating for weeks ... err, months actually.

So what can you do to avoid sticker shock when mailing a package?  When purchasing items you want to mail, try to buy items that will fit in a USPS priority mailer.  You can get a lot of  stuff into one of the large priority mailers and the cost is $18.75 and includes up to $50 insurance.

McCormick Gourmet Spices only $1.99 at OLLIE's OUTLET!

If you have an Ollie's Outlet store, check this out!  The spices are in the add as a "buy out" of a "brand name" but they don't say who.  Well, I was in the store yesterday and I consider this a stock up deal!

McCormick spices for only $1.99!  That's almost unheard of!  They had caraway seeds, basil, thyme, black pepper, red pepper seeds, pepper melange blend, poultry seasoning, sage, cumin,  and red curry.  I think I named them all.  Your store may have different items.

I also bought a huge bottle of Tone's granulated garlic for only $3.99!
