Is there such a thing as a "junk mail shredder"?

One that you put the whole envelope in, credit cards and all?

My SO wants one and I just bought a $79 one that has a separate slot for CDs and credit cards. It will shred 10 pgs.

For nearly 100 bucks it ought to do the trick, right?

1. Well, if it eats CDs and credit cards, it should suffice, you'd think.

5. If we lived out in the country...

I'd have a "burn barrel" on hand for just such a need.

Damn those city burning ordinances...

3. Don't ask me how I know this, but

Staples has the Mailmate for $69.99, minus a $20 rebate.

This is, I'm sure, what your SO wants, as Staples has been advertising it like crazy as the "junk mail shredder." It was even on "The Office" a few weeks ago.

http://www.staples.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/StaplesCategoryDisplay?jspStoreDir=Staples&catalogId=10051&productId=155701&cmArea=SEARCH&interceptedCatEntryId=155701&identifier=BI7523&prodCatType=1&langId=-1&storeId=10001&ddkey=StaplesProductDisplay
or at any Staples store.

Thanks for that.
