I am retired, and I visit two major grocery stores each day on my evening walk.
I buy almost everything on sale or clearance.
There are now fewer sales than before Covid, and sale prices have increased almost 100%!
I have been thinking about eating dinner at my local senior center, but I am almost certain they will require proof of Covid vaccination, which I do not have, because I never got it.
DIGITAL COUPONS, SELF-CHECKOUTS only use CREDIT CARDS, YOU SHOP, CHECK, BAG, CARRY TO CAR. They don’t need a cashier or bagger. PICKUP IS A SCAM, Fixident in the store is $6.99 which is up since FJB by $2.00, Use Pickup it’s over $14.00. You have to spend $35 to get it free. Boost has a yearly fee and is Kroger’s Delivery system and is WORSE. Ditto for Walmart.
All this is setting up for AI control and the UNICOIN MARK OF THE BEAT BANKING SYSTEM. Some stores are now all AI. I think I saw a YT about Aldi’s of the future. And it is all connected to your cellphone.
Many gold/silver ads are increasing, The Fallacy there is it is not very spendable like it was before we changed to paper money, Just an investment thing.
