This economy has been hard on us. Usually, I keep political diatribe off my Blog. However, I will comment a bit, on "how companies" seem to have found new ways, to make everything cheaper.
The List:
- Fast Food places "don't seem" to sell Chocolate Ice Cream, anymore.
- Why is that? Chocolate costs "too much" to sell, at low prices?
- Your laundry soap is all concentrated, now. This started last year, with $4 a gallon gas.
- Nothing lasts, beyond 1--2 years. Everywhere you go, they try to push these plans on things with you. = Seems to be more a game, to see if you lose your receipts.
- Even had one place, "claim I wasn't registered," and luckily, found a copy of all the original document. ie, No reason to register, just keep the documents safe!
- Always look for coupons, especially online ones. This is a good thing, not dislike.
- Even Wendys "dollar menu" items, several are "not a $1.00," anymore. Isn't that fraudulent advertising?
- Try to drive as little as possible, comparing prices. However, "know what" is real high, average, and lower priced.
- Avoid "any Business" whose name matches the thing, you would most likely buy from them. ie, Getting batteries from Interss. Battry, is not the cheapest / best value priced place, in town.
- The opinions expressed are solely my own. If your company is mentioned, I have evidence, if you presume your pricing or Customer Service was wrongly represented. So there!
- Be nice to "the people" working at Stores and Shops. They don't make a lot of money and regularly get "very strange people." Besides, being questioned in detail, why is this Binder $30 and that one an inch smaller is only $10. [Answer: I don't know. It sells at what, they tell us, it is to sell at.]
