Jo-Anne's Thoughts

Here we are at another Friday and it is the day for my thoughts and this week I am thinking about catalogues, why well because last week I found some in the letter box. Haven't had that since March 2020 and how I have missed them.

Yes I check out catalogues online but for me it isn't the same as looking through hard copies with a pen to circle anything of interest.

I like looking through supermarket catalogues and department stores such as Big W, Target or Kmart. I even don't mind looking through Spotlight or Chemist Warehouse catalogues.

Sometimes I will see something in a catalogue and will then search Ebay for a similar item that is cheaper.

Do you like catalogues?

Are you receiving paper catalogues or do you just have online versions?

  1. I get paper catalogs because anywhere I have ordered from online sends them to me automatically. Many years ago before I could order online I ordered from catalogs and got a ton more than I do now. I do like looking through them, too.

    1. I use to hand out toy catalogues out to my young children or grandchildren and get them to mark things they may like an easy way to get gift ideas

  3. I agree that paper catalogs are easier to flip through, but I don't get them very often. Blessings, Jo-Anne!

  4. I really like paper catalogues. They stop after a year or so with no orders from us, as it does cost a lot to mail them out. I do order decently enough that I keep them coming.

    1. Same here for those types of catalogues if you don't order for a while they stop sending them

  5. I used to get weekly ads from grocery stores and I would shop by them, checking out which store had the best prices on which foods I had on my shopping list. We don't get them any more and I really miss seeing what's on sale.

  6. True, it isn't that same as looking through the hard copies. I get a few in the mail but mainly clothes which I'm not that interest in.

    1. Clothes catalogues don't interest me much, I buy my clothes from either Best & Less or Millers but rarely get catalogues from such stores z
