Catalogs

My mailbox runneth over with holiday catalogs. Here's the catalogs I received in just two days: Pottery Barn, Black White Market, Hallmark, L.L. Bean, J. Crew, The Swiss Colony, Hershey, Harry & David, William's & Sonoma, Smucker's, Athleta and Disney. I'm overwhelmed with the options, timing and need to recycle. I page through a few and throw them away as soon as I get them, otherwise I'm tempted to purchase something that not what I really want, need or can afford. The clutter created by these publications is great and will only continue to grow as the holiday season approaches. I've put my name on many 'do not mail,' lists but somehow the catalogues keep coming. I do like to browse, and if I do see and item I like, I won't call the catalogue's tool free number. I'll buy it online after checking to see if I can get free shipping at freeshippingcode.com.
