That’s just bringing the cost down, the amount of donation requests and catalogs my 70-80 y/o parents receive on a weekly basis is astounding.
And my dad has been dead for 10 years and still getting tons.
Like at least 5+ pounds of mailers a week, most with those fucking annoying little envelope windows. Around thanksgiving it doubles or triples in weight with the extra catalogs, and crazy shit like dream catchers, (garbage) work gloves & plastic shopping bags, calendars, note pads, address labels, calendars, notepads (I can’t emphasize enough how many there are).
A $20 donation from a few people can’t possibly result in more than $1-2 making to people in need.
