Anyone had any success cutting down on it? I usually go through things every day and get rid of stuff, but it really drives me nuts how much time I have to spend going through it. One thing is when we give money to a charity/organization/... and right away they send another donation form, envelope, and letter and they keep on coming week after week. Also the credit card offers - and you have to actually make sure to shred those up so no one gets ahold of them and signs up under your name... UGGGGHHH!!!!!!!!

I get great pleasure in stuffing it all (including the envelope they sent it in) in their handily included postage-paid envelope and mailing it back to them. I sometimes stuff extra junk mail in it to get rid of it and make the envy a bit heavier (since they are paying the postage). I noticed after doing this about 12 times to Citibank they finally stopped sending us offers :)

I've heard that idea before, but hadn't heard of anyone actually doing it! That's too funny! Cool that it actually works.

Thanks,
