How to protect packages?

I've never shipped anything before and I am about to start. I have to ship several Gamecube games which are the size of DVD cases. I will be using USPS to ship. I don't have anything that I can use to protect them. I don't have any packaging peanuts or those air bubble sheets that everyone likes to pop. I was wondering where you could get these? Does USPS provide these for you?
 
you can BUY the stuff at UPS or USPS or just go to walmart or target and get some bubble wrap.
I have also found that when shipping with boxes, plastic bags work VERY well to protect the item being shipped. (make sure they are clean of course)

Go to Walmart and get a roll of packaging bubbles, that should do. They're about $4 and it should be plenty.
 
You can get them down at the post office or Fedex/Kinko's stores, along with many other places. I just wrap whatever I'm shipping in an inch - two inches of bubble wrap, then put crumpled paper / styrofoam peanuts to fill in the rest of the box. Lastly tape up all the seams and you should be good to go.
