Some call it Brandonomics.

So called “spaving” is only a problem if you don’t understand math.

Maybe the EV companies will start two for one deals. While you’re driving around and draining the battery in one car, you can be charging up the battery in the other one.

Brandenomics is ‘shrinkflation’- spending more to get less- then telling folks they need to spend more to ‘save more’

I think there are plenty of people who might have fallen for that gimmick, but are really unable to even consider partaking in it.

What I see to be wary of is a “sale”. Price reduced X%! From what? Usually reduced from an inflated price. People are not good at keeping up with what things have cost. You have to keep records. A “sale” the other day on PVC pipe reduced it from $25 a joint to $20 a joint, if I shop I can find it for $16 a joint not on “sale”.

It amazes me that there is an article playing this up as a “trap” that needs to have an “alarm.” Its a trap for stupid people. If you need a couple of the items, then “spave” to get the extra. If you only need one, then only buy one. If you are so stupid that you buy two or three even to get an extra even though you only need one, you need adult supervision when you shop.

I only use those deals if it is something I use anyway and a product I would just put in the freezer for a meal later in the month. For instance, Kroger often has a frozen vegetable we like on sale for a dollar off each if you buy five. That’s a good deal so I take advantage of it.

I always called it girl math. Hey honey how much did you spend cloths shopping? “$500, but I saved $800!”

when a Republican is president, all the poor are eating dog food, when a Democrat is president, the poor just don’t know how good things really are!

I went shopping at a store, loaded up on some good stuff. At the register the lady asked if I wanted to “join their buying club” and save $14?!! I said sure! She cleverly (she thought) hid the fact that she was signing me up for a new credit card.
I played dumb. Waited for the statement, paid it in full and canceled the credit card.

“What is the meaning of life?”

”To love”

”He clearly said, ‘to spave’

”Liar!”

Spaving. Spending trillions on getting immigrant/poor to vote your party in eternally.

Works, but not for the country.

I am not the best with correct English according to my EX but I am really getting tired of all these made-up words and slashed up grammar.
Was this how “Idiocracy” started?
We already had Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho as President.
