I get a few catalogs just about everyday, but can't remember getting 23 or even any number close to that.

Thankfully, the political junk mail will be stopped for at least 4 more years.  That was way worse than catalogs.

I'd like to stop the Medicare enrollment junk mail as well.

I just tear off my personal info and toss all of the junk mail into the recycle bin before I even get into the house.  I don't want or need anything and I am not tempted to look at it.

I don't get many catalogs anymore.  Guess I just don't buy enough.

I loved getting catalogs.  I used to keep them under the bed and pull them out to look at until the next season one came.  I decided to keep the last Sears Wish Book  catalogue because I was sure it would be worth money someday.  I can't remember what year that was.  I wonder if it is still under the bed. Might well be but probably isn't valuable.

@sunshine45 - I'm so jealous!  I love catalogs and never seem to get more than 4-5.  Have fun!💗

i will leave them at my front door for you.

believe me, by the time shopping season is over i will have received many more. i will update if i have a higher number in one day than 23. LOL

some i have ordered from regularly, some i have ordered from occasionally, and some i have never even heard of before!

That was a neat idea to keep the last Sears catalog, if you still have it, it would be fun to look through!

@sunshine45 - thank you. I'll be waiting patiently!  DH knows I love catalogs. When he brought the mail in today, he told me we got one.  I was so excited until I saw that it was Cabela's!! 😖  I told him it wasn't funny.💗

Yes, it is catalog season, and a bag full goes out with trash every week to keep them from piling up.

@RedTop  hope you are recycling your catalogs rather than putting them in the trash.

I have been getting 1 or 2 catalogs at a minimum every day for the past few weeks.  Trying to keep up and recycle those I don't want.

I have also received at least twenty 2021 calendars.  They have been coming in since July or August.  Receied two more just this week.

I've had a lot of catalogs as well.  Such eye 🍬 candy!

One I especially like is Petals.

i have about that many new calendars also from so many different charities. i keep two usually.....one for my kitchen that sits near the phone and one for my home office that sits near the phone also. the rest i give to my daughter who wraps them up and distributes them at christmas to people who love having them in her elderly care facility. that is where a lot of the christmas and all occasion cards go also when i receive those from charities. they sell them in their gift and snack shop for a dollar and that money goes to treat the residents to special events or activites during the year (although there have been very few this year unfortunately.)
