    If you qualify for that deal, then you should be interested in this Field and Stream deal also.
    I almost ordered a MS661CM today!

    My wife and I both get credit card offers many times each week They go right into the trash unopened. We take our trash to the dump. As we back away from it, some giant machine with huge metal wheels runs over it, By nightfall, it is covered over with dirt. I would prefer not to get those offers but it is money for the post office and also for the paper industry.

    I like to tear it up and put it back into the prepaid envelope and pop it in the mail!

    I'm not sure what or if to do, guess we'll all figure it out.

    My husband found the forms and addresses to do credit freezes at Equifax, TransUnion, and Experian. $10 money orders for Transunion and Experian, Equifax has waived the fee.

    Such a deal! Could you get one for you and one for your wife?

    I've been wondering lately if someone knows something that I don't. We've been swamped with life insurance offers.

    I get pre-paid funeral offers all the time too. I'm only 58 and don't plan on dying anytime soon.

    That's the way to go. The CC company pays for both directions and the post office gets paid twice.

    But I do it a little differently. I use a black marker (not a sharpie) and in big block letters I write: "NO THANK YOU" across the application.

    Exactly what I do. Any junk mail I get that has a prepaid envelope for return goes right back in the mail.
