How many catalogs did you get in the mail today?

They started arriving a few weeks ago, one or two a day...some I looked though and tossed, others just got the old heave-ho.
Today, we stopped at the mailbox on the way back from our errands in town and my husband handed me a stack of catalogs - there were 10 of them. Two I get throughout the year and the others were names I never heard of before.
Besides the catalogs the rest of mail consisted of a letter from the local Chevy dealer telling us they want to buy back our 2010 Chevy ...good record keeping - we traded that vehicle (to them) a year ago!
I guess I should be happy the mail didn't contain any bills! But the catalogs are getting way too much. I think there is a website where you can go and cancel them. Does anyone know the name of that site? I used it a few years ago but lost the name! I

I haven't checked my mail yet. I most likely have several.

@AbbyGreenhill So true, most are junk and I have to put them with the paper to bring to the recycle bin.

@LadyDuck We don't have recycling except for motor oil.

I seldom will receive catalogs in my mailbox. Usually it will be several leaflets and that's all. The catalog may come from Ikea mainly. But I seldom will read it carefully. I think a brief leftlet may work better because I have no time to read the thick catalog.

I think Ikea is the only one we don't get!

@AbbyGreenhill Naw, lol. I'm good. Thanks though! lol. My mom used them to stuff things like boxes, and let us cut out whatever we wanted for arts and crafts, we used to love her getting catalogs, because we knew she'd dump them in the arts cabinet for us!

Do you mean flyers? We call them flyers here in Canada.

I guess that's the same, they are little booklet type things with all kinds of items for you to spend your money on.

My thrill of the day is getting the mail...not that I get it, my husband does. When you live in the country it's the little things!

They just say that to everyone and then still mail them! Maybe it's to make you want to order for ''fear'' of never getting the stinking catalog again!
