Thank You For Being Stupid

First, I would like to apologize for not posting yesterday, a brake in my newfound habit that I can only hope never happens again. But it has Occurred to me that every year at this time super markets have this special deal. Spend so much money and get a free turkey it just so happens that acme the place I work says spend 300 or more and get a free turkey. That is if you spend 300 between the last week in October and the week of thanks giving. Well many people spend more than that on food a month so what is wrong with that some may ask. Well I am going to tell you.
You have your favorite market; it is usually a nice clean place, which always has bargains. When another market has a sell smart, shoppers go and check it out. Not because they are disloyal but when it comes to money if you get the same thing somewhere else, why pay the same price. So then, why would someone spend that kind of money in one place? The only exception I can think of are large families who can’t help but spend that kind of money but to me it would make more sense to start shopping wholesale. So, when those dumb people go to purchase their turkey whatever super market the get it at is simply saying thank you for being such a stupid shopper.
