Ugghhh - junk mail...

[HuncaMunca]

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

Lisa,


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,
Ellen
