Question: .Maybe college students living in dorms with those small > refrigerators are buying this product? Those who eat > P&J once a month?…
Answer: I’ll tell you who is buying this product…
It is a 23 year old lady I know and her mother who are buying it for the lady’s 7 year old kid.
The lady has very high interest rates on her home loan due to bad credit, is in default on many loans, has bill collectors calling constantly, is about to lose a car because she has not made the payments, and has just signed up for food stamps. Her husband is laid off from work.
This lady and her husband have two cars – one of which gets better gas mileage. (Both in good working order.) She takes the poor gas mileage car to work and buys gas at the most expensive gas station. She buys groceries at the most expensive grocery store and buys name brand products. Will not shop at the “bag it yourself” store because she does not feel she should be required to bag her own groceries. They buy a lot of their meals at fast food drive-through restaurants.
These people do not have enough money to buy food. I told them about a food bank 2 months ago where they can get free food, they have yet to go there. I told them where they can get free cooked meals – said they were not interested. I can go on and on, but you get the idea.
I show them how I save money by cutting back a little here and a little there. $2 a week saved here, $3 a week saved there, etc. Then this done 10 times can add up to over $1000.00 a year in savings. But they just don’t get it! They say it is just $2, so why bother?
