Walmart and other chains sell them, usually in the coin section or the envelope section.

Staples and other office supply stores will charge you double or triple Walmart's prices.

Look up Uline online, they do packaging stuff cheap, and you can get any size baggie you want.

I got a box of "coin envelopes" at Staples. They're pretty straightforward to buy.

I found the plastic ones at a local place called Hobby Lobby - they had them in the beads\jewelry making section for 99 cents for 100 bags

I usually have the post office weigh it.

Punkinator, it depends on how thick the envelope ends up being. If the grower is sending you a bunch of seeds then it might be classified as a package instead of an envelope and then cost a bunch more. Otherwise, just a plain little skinny bubble under an ounce within traditional envelope size (11 1/2" x 6 1/8") is .44. 17 cents per ounce after that as long as it's not more than 1/4 in. thick. More than 1/4" thick and then you go package.

Cookies its a thought....... hmmmm bribery . So I guess if I send out a bubble for seeds Ill just add a little extra postage to be safe .I need all the help I can get and to think in April I thought you could grow monsters on seed from Lowes.

I would also like to thank everyone for answering my questions this season I dont think I would have become as interested in this hobby as I have were it not for the quality of the people involved. Im sure there will be thousands more questions to come next year .

@punkinator - I just finished mailing out a few packages with a couple dozen seeds in each bubble and the postage came to $1.39 each to 3 different states - so 4 stamps should always be plenty if expecting several seeds - 3 is probably sufficient in most cases but adding a 4th for safety never hurts.
