USPS Priority Small Flat Rate Box is $5.00 anywhere in the US.
When it comes to sealing, twist the end of the bag until it becomes straight, then bend it to make a loop. Then put a rubber band on it.
It's a good idea making a loop and and tying with a rubber band instead of knotting the twisted end. Or is it?
