I was reading the responses to the question on how many meet strangers online and it made me wonder how many of us throw away all junk mail without even opening it (or looking at fliers).

Sometimes there is really good stuff in there, but you never know if you throw it away unopened.

Have you found any treasures?


Most of it no.  I don't know of any good stuff in junk mail.  Some of the junk will have stickers in it which is good for the kids.

I take a quick look at some of it.  A lot of it you can tell where it's from and if I have no interest in that, then I don't look any further.  I do go through everything to check to see if it is addressed to me specifically and if so, I tear that portion out and shred it.  Name and address never goes in the trash without shredding first!

I glance through it quickly, and then usually toss right into the recycle can.

I look through it most of the time but usually end up throwing most of it out.

I don't always read my junk mail closely but I always open it and look through it before I throw it away.I pick out all the mail that needs to be shredded,such as credit card or loan offers,or mail with a lot of personally identifying information on it before putting the rest in the regular wastebasket.

I don't usually have the patience to look through junk mail. If it was up to me I'd throw it away immediately. But I can't do that, because when my husband comes home, he'll want to look at each piece individually and try to find treasure. Of course, sometimes he does! :thumbsup:

Yes, I look at the junk mail. I received a ten dollar survey once and I was glad I didn't throw it away.

I do look thru junk / spam and sometimes find some interesting things.  Most of the time i just get spam and no treasure yet.

I open  the junk mail destroy all  of the  pieces that have my name and address on them, including cataloges.  I then  stuff the rest of the regular junk mail back into the envelopes they come in and mail it back.  Hey it helps keeps the post office in business, don't put stuff in the land fill here, and gives their employees a job going through it, there I have done my duty.

I do look at junk mail especially credit card applications.  I make sure that I tear up all credit card applications and anything that might have personal information.
