Some retailers are making it really easy to see how you can save money right now. I appreciate it when they draw my eye to these bargains with fluorescent tabs because it means that I can go on autopilot in the supermarket and just buy what they suggest.
NoNoNo my friend. If you agreed with the above you are not ready for potential redundancy. Get back to work. When your source of income is uncertain you must be wiley as a fox. Which shape of pasta is cheapest? I’ll tell you! Spaghetti. Which toothpaste should I buy? HEY STUPID! All toothpastes are equally effective! Your eyes must dart around the supermarket and seek out the most nutritious combination of food for the lowest possible price. As you see above, the supermarket will use its accumulated wealth of arcane and diabolical knowledge to trick you and your simple human brain - but you must be wary! Remember: a large number on a fluorescent background is still no more than a number. Multiply it by two - is it not doubled?
Worried you will forget this most important lesson under the glare of the supermarket’s lights? Allay your fears: print and fold this post into amulet form and wear around your neck at all times. Take heart, I will be there with you…
