Return to Sender

Ever get those credit card offers and solicitations in the mail and wish they'd stop? Well I've got a tip for you that will help with some of that.

Tip Tuesday:

When you get a credit card offer in the mail that you don't want, rather than tossing or shredding it stick it to them, quite literally. Most of those mailings come with stamped or postage paid envelopes. Shove all the contents (including the envelope it was delivered in) into the prepaid envelope and send it back to them. You may also want to add a little note to have you deleted from their mailing lists. I've done this with a few dozen companies and it's actually worked.

For unwanted fliers etc. that come and don't have the prepaid envelope option, try to toss it before bringing it into the house with desired mail. If you have a mud room or paper bag right by the entry door - toss it right away. It will save your counters from unwanted clutter.

Have your own tip to share? Leave a comment I'd love to hear how you tackle unwanted junk mail.
Have a happy day!

There is a garbage can right by our mail boxes; so I stand out there and go through the mail befoer I even go back in the house.

Junk mail is Such a waste of paper
