HITTING UP THE LOCAL NEWSSTAND FOR A MAGAZINE

Remember when you were kid and you could buy your favorite magazine for a buck to a buck-fifty and still have some change left over for candy? Nowadays it’s either your favorite magazine or your lunch, your choice. Magazines are easily averaging five bucks a pop, way too much for a one time read for most magazine-reading folks, especially those that only scan the pictures and pay no attention to the words. Just in case you were wondering, five dollars can get you a foot long sub of your choice at Subway. Screw the magazine, people. You can probably find better information and pictures online for free.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

Actually, I think I’m going to veg out on the couch and buy a few pounds of peanuts and crackerjacks for the same price I can get them for at the ball game where they only give me a small bag of peanuts and a regular box of crackerjacks. Besides, if I want to pack a little buzz while I’m watching my home team put out a decent effort, why should I have to pay 8$ for a measly Budweiser when I can get two six packs for that same price at the local supermarket? Take me out to the ball game needs to consider the prices of the damn ball game.

I NEED SOME CASH. WHERE’S AN ATM MACHINE?

Quick, by raise of hands, how many people know where banks make a ton of their money? Loans? Yeah, that’s a good answer but not what I’m looking for. Actually, ATM fees give money to banks like you wouldn’t believe. Belong to Bank of America and can’t find one in the local town you’re passing through and you’re looking at a $2 fee just because of convenience. Now, imagine hundreds of thousands of people doing that everyday and you’ve got a big reason banks make big money.
