PSA: Time to dump the inserts, folks

SNN0814_1523895aFirstBorn readily agreed (hahahahahaha – yeah) to run the PITA errands this afternoon, freeing up enormous amounts of my time:  Finally got around to dumping expired inserts.  How to know what to keep and what to dump is easy using that handy-dandy Insert Checker on the right sidebar.

Say you have a small bundle of 156 10/6 inserts and wanna know if you should toss them or take a chance on the floorboards collapsing.  You click on 10, then the 6 and you find that all coupons from those inserts except Smart Source have expired and the last date of expiration.  The SS date is 2/28.  What I always do is pull out one of the inserts and thumb through it, looking for that one coupon.  99.9% it’s for Morton water softening salt tablets, so I feel no pangs about tossing the entire insert.  If, as happened with quite a few today, there is one coupon that might very well show up on a clearance cart, then I pull the entire page and clip them with all the other orphans.

Today I emptied out 2 1/2 full totes.  Used to be my recycling guy threw hexes at my house, but now I load up the car and dump them in the paper recycling dumpster at the library (so they get the extra $$).

  1. My aunt is a hoarder and I can’t walk past the back room in her house. It’s so overstimulating just standing there. I know there are much worse ones than here, but… Last summer we had a reunion at my aunts and my oldest was showing me a photo… it looked like a shelf at a souvenir shop.( I didn’t recall them hitting one that morning.) She was like, “Mom, that’s her bathroom!!!” Hilarious, but I feel terrible for her three kids that have to one day decide what to do with ALL that SHIT! Cat skeletons indeed!
