They Just Try to Suck You In
If you read yesterday’s post, you know how I mentioned that more people are trying to save money by cooking more at home. If you didn’t see it, scroll down and then come back to finish reading this post.
I’m sitting here watching television (Bruins beat the Canadians tonight, YEAH) and all the commercials are for take out food. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Papa John tonight. He’s trying to give away some dessert thing now.
Then there was the Quiznos commercial where they claim that they have lowered their prices on their subs. Then some guy at the end says, “now you’ll have more money for the $12 coffees”.
Then, of course, there’s the “$5 footlong” commercials. Even the kids sing along to those they are on so much. They even have a blooper commercial out now. People love the bloopers.
If your one of the ones trying to cook more at home to save money, ignore the commercials. Don’t let them suck you in. Cook your own dinner and save the take out for a treat once in a while. I can’t expect you to cook every day.
