Samson from the Bible

A sister made a coloring book of Bible characters and while I was printing the pages for some of my friends' kids, I thought that Samson probably had awesome 6-pack abs. Why do all the strong buff guys end up with crazy women that ruin their lives? Delilah was a total witch for how she treated him. She should have been the first to give him some olive oil hair treatments to keep his hair long and healthy. Oh well, it is all ancient history now.

Who cares about a recession? I say Aldi

Aldi is the place for me to do my shopping because I am all about saving money. No foo foo stuff here. I do not mind paying for my own bags. They do not have name brand products, but the quality cannot be beat on most stuff. For example, they got a clam chowder at a fraction of the cost that beats Campbells. And they have strawberry popsicles at half the price that are better than Dole. Who knew?

But do not take my word for it, see what the news outlets have to say.

 

In Tough Times, Aldi Promises Cheap Thrills

(Newser) – It may not stock Coke or tempt shoppers with fancy end-aisle displays, but bare-bones grocery chain Aldi fits these tough economics, reports Time. With Americans downgrading to cheaper stores, Aldi's generic, spartan approach is attracting customers eager to save a buck, or more, on a gallon of milk. The chain cuts costs by offering staples—ketchup, cereal, olive oil—in one brand in one size.

Aldi's well-tested European business model undercuts its competitors by up to 90%, eliminating frills like free plastic bags and payment by credit card while keeping in-store staff to a five-employee maximum. Targeting urban neighborhoods where real-estate costs favor Aldi's minimal spatial needs—no butcher here—the chain plans to expand by 100 stores over the next two years.

Go Tennessee Volunteers

I am not a big football fan, but I like Tenn for some reason. I hope they win all their games or at least most of the games.

Black Friday Ads and Cease and Desist Orders

It is that time of year again. Everyone is getting ready for the biggest shopping day of the year. BLACK FRIDAY. Since the whole country is in a bit of a recession, there have not been many ads posted so far. I am hoping for retailers to have some crazy sales, especially on electronics. I want a GPS. The only leaked sales ad worth mentioning is Walgreens. They have one of those Bullet-like blenders for 9.99. I learned about the Bullet through an infomercial. You can make salsa in 5 seconds and smoothies in 10. I do not want to pay 60 bucks for the name brand version, but 10 dollars is my speed. Walgreens also has some $12 body butter for 2 bucks. That is worth a trip.

I get my information about the upcoming sales from http://bfads.net/ I laugh at the companies that demand that they not release their sales information. They want it to be a big surprise and so they threaten legal action http://bfads.net/Cease-Desist-Tally-SoFar-5

Companies that send Cease and Desist Orders usually do not get my business. I do not know what they are trying to prove, but I do not get it. To me it is all about saving time and money. I need a game plan for Black Friday. Everything opens at 6-7 and I do not have time to go get the sales papers to decide what I want to buy. I got to be ready when the doors open headed to the specific department to make my claim.

Fake degrees

Degree from Oxford but its not legit? Waaa? If he believed that, then he probably gave his bank account information to help some “Nigerian prince” too.
