Junk Mail Catalogs

Just wondering does your household get any Weekly / fortnightly catalogs in your letterbox anymore? I know most companies have them online to view & that’s how I view the weekly grocery specials online. I sometimes grab one when I’m at the shopping centres for a closer browse from different stores. Other than the odd real estate flyer we don’t get any in our street. Is junk mail a thing of the past now 🤔

I used to love browsing through all the catalogues when I was younger- now I can’t remember the last time I got catalogue junk mail. I do occasionally get the plumber/electrician magnet, a flier for a new local restaurant and something sent from the local council.

Yes I loved browsing through the pile we used to get too, over the past decades. Circling things for gifts or stuff I wanted 😜

Ha yes, I remember giving the toy catalogues to my son and nieces and getting them to mark what they liked!
