What do you do with junk mail?

I get a lot of junk mail in my mailbox. I get a lot of store circulars, advertisements, menus and coupons. I keep the coupons and read through the circulars and magazines looking for articles to keep and good sales. I know some people cut out articles like symbiotropin reviews, decorating ideas and such and put them into a file or binder for reference later on.

Everything I don’t use or want goes into a paper bag to be taken out to the recycle bin when it’s full. I shred anything that might have personal information on it so no one can steal my identity (although it would do them no good to do that because my credit sucks!).

What do you do with your junk mail?

Purging

Since we are living in a camper there isn’t much room for stuff so I have to purge stuff from time to time. I have to recycle the junk mail constantly and get rid of all of the magazines full of colon cleanser reviews, sale papers, credit card offers and such.

It’s surprising just how fast that stuff piles up. I take all of the bills that are due and put them in a prominent place so they don’t get forgotten and put the paid ones into a shoe box and put that box into one of the upper cabinets so it’s out of the way.

How many?

I was just wondering how many cookbooks you own. I used to have about 10. Now I’m down to about 4 or 5. I have a Better Homes and Gardens cookbook that I’ve had for years. I also have one that was my Grandmoms that is really old.

I’ve posted some recipes here from Grandmom’s cookbook before and I’ll probably post some more of them soon. Recipes way back then are kind of different than recipes today. For example… instead of saying bake at 350 degrees it will say bake in a moderate oven. I also have a bunch of recipes that Grandmom cut out of magazines and newspapers. I’ve posted some of them too.

So tell me… are you a recipe/cookbook collector?
