Saving Save the Date Magnets

from people they know?

I have received eight of them over the past year.  I guess I must be popular or something.  I have no problem with them.  They are made to do a job.  I guess my issue is that they do their job too well.  I can’t make myself throw them away.  They seem to have a purpose and they do their job of sticking to metal very well.

I don’t know what part of my “waste not, want not” upbringing is gumming up the gears here, but I am a bit concerned that I’m going to have wedding announcements from 2009 stuck on my fridge for the next twenty years because the thought of throwing away a perfectly good magnet doesn’t sit well with me.  Does anyone else deal with this issue?  Probably not.
