a cute idea...but...

So my baby brother went to college this year.
(Apparently not so "baby" any more.)

And we love to give him mail.
We found some amazing cards at CVS.
They have a whole line of "going to college" cards.

But I found these boxes of his favorite pop-tarts
for only a dollar a box.
What a deal!

I thought I was really clever and I would just mail him the pop-tarts.
Wrapping up the side with awesome mailing tape,
I was sure the good old USPS would take them.

And they did.
For $5.50, I could mail ONE BOX to my brother
about 30 minutes away.
$5.50 each.
Seriously?

I paid $1 for a box.

Next time I am mailing him a $10. I would save money.

But don't they LOOK cute?
