Catalog

I received a new Limited edition catalog from Cabelas today. This is the most expensive catalog I have ever received. A hard cover book thicker than any telephone book. Between printing, shipping and handling this book has to carry a cost well over 30 bucks. Now that they are established in Scarborough Maine, LL Bean is taking a beating. In fact LL Bean just built a big store dedicated to hunting and fishing. Now who said competition isn't a good thing.

LLBean just moved their hunting fishing to a seperate store, nice but mostly clothing anyway. Cabela's and KTP have them beat in the outdoor sport hardware depts.

that is why I have to go to the post office for something from Cabelas. I have gotten them for the last few years. I don't need another. Good waste of paper. They should check to see if people need them first.
