our mailman just rang the doorbell. i thought it might be a package or packages. no.......she had to bring up our mail in a basket because there was so much and she could not fit it into our mailbox at the end of the driveway.

 

i counted all of the catalogs received today and i think we hit a new high number. 51 total catalogs today alone!!! that is NOT including magazines (we received 4 of those.)

 

anyone else being deluged with catalogs lately? 'tis the season....Smiley Wink

51, wow, that is a lot!  I think the most I've received in one day is 7 or 8, and most of them get 'round filed'.

Yes, I've noticed an increase.  The most has been eight in a day.  I look at the cover, then put them in the recycling bin.  I am trying to be good, so I don't want to find something I have to have.

i think my previous high was around 30 or so, probably around the same time of the year. LOL i should have taken a picture of them all in the usps basket. i like getting catalogs and usually go through most of them. a nice way to enjoy my morning coffee. Smiley Wink

 

when i stopped going to the mall frequently i became a big catalog shopper (this was before qvc or hsn became a bigger entity.)

 

it is going to be difficult to beat that 51 number. LOL

I recently moved to different state.  I contacted every company and requested no more catalogs at my old address.  That went well.  But now am starting to receive 3-4 per day at the new address.  Most likely will never order, so they should stop after a while.  The only catalogs I actually request are a few seed catalogs.

Gosh I don't think I have any yet.  I am careful about where I order from.

I don't get nearly as many as the OP, but I really don't mind them. I think the pictures in the catalogs are better than the websites. We have weekly curbside recycling so they don't  really get in the way.

You take the prize!

 

I’ll have to tell my husband about you.  He thinks we get a lot when 4-5 catalogs arrive in one day!
