Choose what catalogs you receive
Do you receive a lot of catalogs at home that you no longer need, no longer want or never requested in the first place? I always get a little mad about the ones I didn’t request or buy from, because that’s how I know someone bought a mailing list. Catalog Choice is a free service designed to help people cut down on the amount of catalogs that they receive that they don’t want. It’s very good for your garbage and recycling piles and it’s great for the ecology. Users can create a free account. There’s a list of catalogs that work with Catalog Choice, so you mark in your profile which you want to receive and which you don’t. Not all catalogs are on the list, so it might not stop all of the unwanted catalogs you receive but it could help make a dent. Why do we even need catalogs anymore since we have the internet? Everyone knows that by the time a catalog arrives it’s out of date. I can find a better deal online for everything from CAT5e cables to zippers. Are there any catalogs you absolutely can’t do without?

Oh my gosh. I need this so much. Once you order from a place, they bombard you with catalogs.

OMG! I had heard of this service, but couldn’t find it! Thanks so much, I’ve just registered with them and have started picking & choosing my catalogs to get rid of.

Karen - sometimes we even get catalogs from people we’ve never ordered from. I tried it. Hope it helps!
