Thank you all SOOoo MUCH!! I've been waiting to ask this question for several months. I will be downsizing soon and I have been agonizing what to do about my magazine collection.

I have 13 years of magazines, not including all the ones I moved in with (ads removed) in a box that has never been opened. SIGH.

Hard to part with them, but it's so MUCH baggage (and expensive to move.) May just have to take a deep breath and pitch them all if I cannot find a place to donate them.

And, just to make you all chuckle . . . even though my dentist "bought" me an electric sonic toothbrush several years ago, she still doles out two or more toothbrushes (and an equal amount of not my brand toothpaste) at each visit. I cleaned out my bathroom vanity over the weekend and I have a shoe-box full of toothbrushes to donate to the shelter. Silly, but it does make me feel good donating them to people who can really use these basic things that we take for granted.

Thanks again all.

 
stuff like old toothbrushes, soap, shampoo samples, etc. are REALLY needed

at your local Veteran's Administration. My group donates paperbacks also, and everything is much appreciated!

By the way, if you mail your old magazines, they go very cheaply by parcel post if you mail them as 'media'. I sent 8-1/2 pounds for about $4.50
