a few years ago, I spent time calling to get off catalog mailing list and that has worked pretty well then of course we moved so that helped. But there are still catalogs I I get at Christmas time.

I get an envelope full of coupons every couple of weeks and also a bundle of ads from local stores once a week. Addressed to current resident. I had to ask the postman how to get off their lists. Each had tiny 1-800 numbers in the margins, which seems to have worked.

I get at least two cruise catalogs a week. Never been on a cruise or want to go on one but they keep coming.

I wonder if rising prices, as well as possible tariffs causing possible rising prices will help with overconsumption.
I’ve become very lazy in my food. I have a farmers market less than two miles away on Saturday morning that I don’t get to which is ridiculous. I used to make my own yogurt and instead buy in large plastic tubs. Also, I used to make sourdough bread, English muffins, pancakes and use the discard for crackers but I got out of the habit. All reduce plastic. We don’t eat out, so no plastic take home containers. Most of what we buy is secondhand.
After looking at the easy low hanging fruit I guess I’ll have to really take a look at my personal habits to see what I can do better.
We get the Viking catalogs too, even though we've never been on a cruise and will probably never go on one. I think it's an age-targeted thing.
