Anyone know of any comic mailers that fit in a USPS priority bubble mailer envelope?

I currently use the mailers from bagsunlimited.com ( https://www.bagsunlimited.com/product/5313/comic-mailer-holds-up-to-14-comics ) because they fit perfectly in a USPS priority envelope but they're a bit much for sending just a couple of books and I am looking for something cheaper. Anyone use anything else with the USPS bubble envelopes?

If you purchase your postage through Paypal, there is no difference in price between regular and legal flat rate envelopes. So no reason to look for a mailer that fits inside a regular flat rate or padded envelope.  It is hard --- close to impossible - to find the shipping link on Paypal to just ship anything. So I saved a link on my desktop

Agreed, however I once had a persons at the counter say it was not the flat rate I had paid for. I ship better and differently now that I know better.

Yes, I've run into questions at the counter several times. I just tell them the postage was paid and printed via PayPal - as they can see on the label - and that PayPal has negotiated  discounted rates on shipping. And it's not just these flat rate envelopes that are cheaper.  Postage rates are less than USPS.com rates on nearly all packages. The difference in Express (next day rates) are sometimes pretty substantial. 

So far, the postal clerk scans it and says "OK".  But most of the time it isn't an issue because most of the time I don't go into the post office to mail packages. I do the postage online via the link I listed and I had the packages with said postage attached to my mail carrier when he/she delivers my mail. Never leave the house.  If it's not my regular carrier, I make a point of asking the carrier to be sure to scan the packages so tracking starts right away.
