- Someone else wants to give us money - woot… :rolleyes:
- Land’s End catalog
- Sears catalog
The only real mail was the renewal for the license tag on our trailer.
Another boring mail day:
Remember the Cathy postcard from the US Postal Service mentioned upthread? I gone one today. Addressed to Postal Customer. (DNC)
Credit union statement - not junk (DNC)
Electric bill - not junk (DNC)
Notice from other credit union - also not junk (DNC)
Mailer from the ACLU - addressed to me - counts
Envelope from MasterCard “Account Information Enclosed.” Secret code for “we are enclosing checks that will cost you lots of extra money if you use them.” - counts
2 qualifying pieces. Yeeee hawwww!!!

Not much today:
- Capitol One credit card offer
- National City Mortgage presorted, addressed to long-ago occupant by name
- Sears hearing aid offer for my MIL (who lives 3,000 miles away but her name is first on the joint credit union account we use to pay the mortgage on her house – we can always tell when the credit union has sold their mailing list again!)
- 2 pieces of political crap
- Washington Post Shopping Guide, two copies (both to “Resident,” DNC)
In the home stretch:
-The county asking me to feed people on Thanksgiving
-a credit card offer from Sallie Mae/Bank of America
-a rather nasty flyer from the local Democratic candidate bashing the Republican candidate
-an 87-page book catalog from a company I’ve never heard of
And finally, I know this doesn’t really count, but maybe it could get an honorable mention of some sort? Someone dropped off a huge packet of election info in front of my door this morning, including a door hanger, 9 glossy flyers, and a voter registration slip.
Ooooooh, fuffle, you are ever so fortunate. :rolleyes: I ran into the neighborhood guy running for state representative as he was coming out of his campaign headquarters this morning. I was happy to escape with just a friendly hello.
In the junk mail department:
An exciting offer from a local car dealer inviting me to “participate in a special **5 DAY ONLY **pre-owned vehicle disposal.” I am very excited, of course, as it includes a Wal*Mart gift card worth up to $5,000. Also, as it’s a disposal and not a sale, perhaps I can score a car for free???
Postcard from a local garden center.
That’s it. At least it was more interesting junk mail than the rest of the week.

The week wrapped with a piece of junk from Dell and a piece of junk from a local college.
We need to do these derbies more often - it really cuts down on my junk mail pile!
My week wrapped up with another moderate assortment:
- Dell catalogue (addressed to someone I’ve never seen mail for before but at this address)
- political flyer (addressed to “Tiger Household,” so I’m assuming if our name’s included, it counts)
- credit card offer from AAA (for Papa T.)
- credit card offer from MBNA (addressed to someone I’ve never seen mail for before but at this address)
- casino flyer (for Papa T.)
- New York & Company coupon flyer (addressed to Tiger Trendsetter)
Six pieces of mail, all qualifying, not one addressed to me.
I agree that if running this derby cuts down on the junk, I’m all for it! I think we got a grand total of two pieces of actual mail we actually wanted the entire week, but our junk haul was about 1/4 what it can sometimes be.
But never fear. Just wait – the Christmas BUY! BUY! BUY! season is just around the corner!
Ok, this is my first time online since being away for the weekend – do we have an official winner? I’ve got this prize pack of extraordinary value just sitting here!
