Too much snail mail!

404498 We bought a shredder so that we could get rid of all of our old papers in the house. If you are like me at all, you have boxes of paper with “important” papers because you don’t want to throw out things with your personal information on it. I would say that we have about 50 lbs of paper to put in our recycling bin tomorrow. A lot of the papers I found were credit card deals and other junk mail. We don’t even read our mail. All of our bills are automatically paid through our bank so we get the mail every 2 weeks or so. I had to find a way to stop the madness so I searched and found a couple of sites to stop the mail:

OptOutPrescreen.com – The Federal Trade Commission recommends that you use this site to opt out of credit card offers. I did it and it seems to be secure and they said they will do it in 5 days.

tonic mailstopper – You have to pay $20/year but they will stop the junk mail for you. I haven’t done it yet but will see after I see the benefits of the opt out credit card site. If anyone has done this please let me know how it works.

Also, if you are looking for a cheap paper shredder the Fellowes P-35C works well and it was only $35 at Office Max . Don’t forget to put the shredded paper in paper bags when you put it out in your recycle bin.
