I can save 33% off everything, there are almost no exclusions, the offer never expires and there are no gotchas such as having to spend a certain amount to qualify: consume less! You don’t have to go to movies three times a month, twice is also fun. You don’t have to go shopping 6 times in a month; 4 is enough. You don’t have to stuff the entire trunk of you car when you go to Costco, stuffing two thirds of the trunk is enough. You get increasing happiness from increasing social involvement and engagement not by buying more shit you don’t need. Don’t buy “loyalty” programs they are a deception perpetrated upon you by professionals who have spent millions executing the program. You, dear consumer, don’t stand a chance. If you think you do, you are the dupe the corporations are seeking.

Buy goods, buy services, capitalism is wonderful but don’t think you buying loyalty and savings.
