This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

While I doubt you can do much about the official postal service (legally obliged to deliver to the stated address, if I remember correctly), you have to remember that the leaflet-delivery plods get paid to shove the stuff through your door, while you, on the other hand, aren't paying them not to.

Set up a shredder by your front door that dispenses a shiny new pound for each item disposed.
