do you have a lot of catalogs?

I have a ton of educational catalogs that come to the house. I can't seem to let go of them! It's really crazy since they all have websites online. I just LOVE them, but they're becoming a real problem.

I do purge them when a new one comes in, but geesh I have quite a stack.

Well I always get a ton of clothing catalogs and I QUICKLY throw them away. I ordered through Newport News ONCE and was so disappointed with the quality I vowed to never do it again.

Sara, I donate m,ine to the local schools, doctor's offices,library. Great way to recycle the ones you no longer need

I can't part with them either, Sara . For awhile I would just cut out the item I would like to find or make and keep them in a file. But from time to time I would want to find out if there was some other thing or idea and I just felt like having the catalogue in my hand made it more easy to recognize what would work. Now I just keep the latest one from each company cuz I can go on the website. But its still alot.

I keep all catalogues.......I am such a pack rat, but an organized one........

I am the same way with magazines........I just can't seem to throw them out..............

Educational, homeschool and gardening catalogues. I do throw them out when the new ones come though.

We have a lot of home furnishing type catalogs. I tear out pictures of things I like and put them in a folder. It's sort of a wish list of things for dh to build. After I've gotten everything out of them I toss them.

We don't get too many catalogues

but I usually browse through them and then sort if it's recycle material or put in the catalogue basket material. The basket gets cleaned out every couple of months.

I get lots but I try to go through them daily as they come in and look and purge the ones that I don't "need". They do still stack up though.

I decide right there at the mailbox which ones to throw out and which ones to keep and then trash them as soon as I get them to the office. If I don't find time to look at the ones I didn't trash within a few days, I trash them too.
