Protect Your Identity with a Shredder

Despite the frigid temperatures and never-melting-snow outside my window, that wonderful time of year is almost here.

No, not spring (I wish!!).

Tax time.

Every year, I gather up the ridiculous amount of paperwork I have saved for twelve months and sort through to see what I actually NEED to send to our accountant. Usually I am left with a giant pile of papers that were not really needed but still contain personal information that I do not want falling into the wrong hands.

So what to do?? Shred! No, not the Jillian Michaels workout, but with a paper shredder. I used to dread this since J has a habit of burning out the motor on every shredder we have ever owned. (I think it has something to do with shoving paper in ten sheets at a time.)

About a year and a half ago, I ran a giveaway for a Fellowes shredder and received one myself. I am happy to report that the shredder is still up and running smoothly despite all of J’s attempts to break it. I call a win for the shredder as J has not managed to even jam it – not even once. (I equate him to the gorilla in the Samsonite commercial who jumps on all of the luggage. He is the gorilla of shredders!)

Now I’ll bet you are thinking, “I’d like to get myself one of those gorilla J-proof shredders” aren’t you?

Great news – you can WIN one at Fellowes’ Facebook page. Just go to www.Facebook.com/Fellowes and click on the “contest” tab.

Hurry, the contest will be ending soon. And good luck!
