The Chronic Consumer

I still get catalogs in the mail, which doesn’t make much sense to me. Who shops from catalogs these days when it’s a whole lot easier to just go online to find what you want? Sure, I can see the appeal of, say, the Victoria’s Secret or Abercrombie & Fitch catalog because people find the pictures to be sexy or whatever, but there’s really no reason to get catalogs for things like modern furniture, kitchen appliances, toys, or books. And yet I still receive these items in the mail every once in a while.

I’m not exactly a green crusader or anything like that, but in this case, I’d just as soon save the paper and not have to deal with all this junk mail.
