If we don’t want leaflets and other bumf delivered to our properties, we can put a sign up stating this.
So why are we expected to accept unsolicited junk when we buy a magazine?
Maybe, we should go into a shop/store with a sign on us, stating this!
Even better, as l got my Fireman’s Badge in the Girl Guides, l will set fire to the leaflets in the shop.
Job sorted and no need to drag round one of those red tartan shopping trolleys!
It’s not getting rid of them that annoys me. When I hear something come through the letter box, I am filled with anticipation and excitement. When I find that all I’ve got is a menu for the poxy local takeaway, I then have work through the disappointment. It is not a trivial matter.
I’m a very sensitive person, Besoeker, the slightest thing can send me into a state of turmoil, and a cuppa can’t fix that. Although if I’ve got a nice cream cake to go with it, that can make a difference.
They do annoy me & they go straight in the bin if I find it after I’ve got home, if I notice them before I buy the magazine they end up back where the magazines are stacked, or on the floor if they’ve fallen out.
Perhaps I am more tolerant. I just bin them in the recycle bin. Unless there is the odd item of interest. We use Milk and More delivered to our doorstep and they occasional post a leaflet relating to their products.
Honest I can’t remember the last time I bought a magazine I remember thinking about it a while ago…25 Beautiful Homes I think it cost about £5 so the Yorkshire in me wouldn’t allow it and back on the shelf it went…anyway hasn’t the Internet taken over from magazines? If I want to look at home designs I go to Pinterest…loads there and no flyers
That is a lot of work for newsagents I didn’t realise you had to place the supplements in the newspapers
I like Saturday’s Times so apologies as it does contain quite a lot
Re the leaflets there’s sometimes a small booklet of useful items I browse it ,then look on line for better prices if anything takes my fancy
The ones with money off vouchers are ok Matalan offers are good
