    Your assumption appears to be correct. They even state they want to break consumers out of the frugal habit (paraphrasing).

    People are broke, you dumb twats.

      And we’re learning how to frugal better, therefore buying less in the future too. I do not feel sorry for the shareholders.

      “People are broke, you dumb twats.”

      I want to make this into a billboard that we lease right outside the CEO of walgreens office window.

      Then I want to send him a T-Shirt with this on it.

      And then a custom doormat to put outside his house.

      …how hard would it be to tattoo it on his forehead without him noticing until after we’re done/gone? I don’t even want him to know we’ve been there.

      Want us to spend more money and buy more crap? Simple, pay us more and we spend more. I used to spend $20 a week on lunches and $10 a week on coffee and muffin for breakfast, I stopped when it was $20 a week for coffee/muffin and $30+ for lunch. If my minimum spending on my basics is leaving me with less each month, I am going to start cutting back on even that. I guess if you want a cut of my money you need to find a way to get more out of my LL cause that is where most of it goes now, or the utilities. Something, something, blood from a stone.
