The Eaton’s Catalog and The Sweater
This article reflects on the nostalgia of the Eaton’s Catalog, once a staple of shopping in Canada, and its connection to the classic Quebecois story The Sweater by Roch Carrier. The post draws parallels between past and present shopping habits, comparing the catalog’s anticipation to today’s fast-paced online shopping. It highlights how the evolution of consumer behavior, from waiting months for a mail-order purchase to two-day delivery, has reshaped personal finance and shopping expectations.
