How to get flyers?
2/18/2022 at 9:00 AM

We just switched to digital newspapers but are wondering if there is a way to still get paper flyers?

If you call the Brandon Sun they will add you to the carrier's flyer list. I had to fight to get OFF of the list, should be easier to get on. :-)

Most are only electronic no paper ones for them.

Eventually I think all will be that way.

Saves paper.

Rural areas we get a couple on Tuesday then another couple on Wednesday. In the mail.

Try going to the Free Press web site that’s where they print the Brandon Sun. They probably moved the flyers there.

I have tried for a year to get on the list with no luck. I just grab them from 7-11 or look them up online.

Why would anyone want flyers anyway?
All they are doing is trying to sell you stuff you don’t need at excessive prices that look attractive to get foot traffic through the store. It’s all part of the great retail lie that perpetuates more waste and contributes to more landfill.
I’ll buy things when I need them not when a retailer tells me I should shop.

We use them primarily for lining our compost pails (certain ones, some cannot be used) and for paper for when we have messy jobs etc.

I usually could care less about the content, but a steady supply of newsprint is helpful around the house.

That’s about all they are useful for!
