I have been looking for a large bag of cornstarch peanuts online, but shipping is ridiculous. I found that many U-Haul stores have them too. You can check them out at http://store.uhaul.com/product_detail.aspx?id=730 to see if they have a store near you that carries them. (the link is to the packing peanuts, but locater info is above. They had 1.5 cubic feet for $5 Also, Drs foster and smith has 3 cu feet for $8 plus reasonable shipping <http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=18172&ref=4614&subref=AA&cmpid=E-_-F-_-22808-_-P5> the online ones were 12 cubic feet for only $18 but the shipping was about another $ 14 That large amount may be good for a shelter though. Know a shelter to send a surprise box to? (-: Risa [Posted in FML 5901]
