such a bargain!

So I was at Kroger today and noticed a section of crackers about 4 linear feet long, different flavors of the same variety, each flavor with its own temporary shelf tag reflecting the excitement! and eye appeal! of Yellow Pricing! 2/7.00. For an item ordinarily priced at … 3.59.

Multiply by a thousand or so items in 3600 Krogers across our great land, and suddenly you have a  truckful of temporary yellow shelf tags reflecting such alluring “savings” EACH WEEK. A landfill-bound truckful. I hereby deem this Wanton and Wasteful. Not to mention Annoying and Ludicrous. Perhaps even verging on Downright Stupid, given that employees are being paid to affix, and then un-affix, each of those thousands of tags.

Note: “Look for the yellow tags!”

Blog-worthy? Maybe not. But I’ve got to get back on track somehow, right?

Hugs from me to you. I hope your summer is packed full of goodness thus far.
