I will look forward to the next one for free entertainment. Also, I buy my undies from a store once a year. ( OK, once every other year,) I get catalogs from them every other week. I already bought what I wanted. I toss them without looking at them.

I will admit I have a paper shredder which I use but usually a friend takes all the shredded stuff for bedding for her husbands ferrets so I suppose its a form of recycling.

And then even wanting to buy them? I mean, really! <br /><br />And your reviews have also made me chuckle. Pointing out the obvious shows how stupid the things are - a hair remover that does the bikini line to keep in your handbag? Who needs a "touch-up" there when they are out and about?

And full of common sense! Every time I fly in the States I usually read the catalog they've put in the seat pocket (Sky Mall) and for the 2-5 hours I'm in the air, I'm thinking "Oh yes, that's a good idea. I should buy that." Of course the catalog is "free to take with you." No thank you.
