How protesting actually pays off

[hummtide]

I have been on sooo many food companies about their magical "shrinking" of their items I bought in the grocery store for years. The worse was Kellogs and General Mills. Well I guess you can only f*** over the consumer for so long until BLOWBACK happens! In any event, to my stunning surprise, I was at Wallyworld and found all my 25 and 31 ounce Kellog cereals back and without the (25% MORE FREE!) plastered on the box. Not only that, but Swiss Miss pudding which decided to shaft its 4-pack pudding at 97 cents and go to a 6-pack 3 years ago for $2.29 suddenly is back to a 4- pack for $1.18. So let that be a lesson, if someone or some company upsets you, take your money and spend it elsewhere until they recognize that we the consumer control them, not the opposite!

Duh - that's the free market.


But also realize that since the price of fuel is going up, ALL COSTS in this country will rise as well. That means our buying power is going to be diminished without even factoring inflation.
