Don't worry, you morbid people who want to know the factors that led to the death of Oldsmobile and the impending death of the soap opera. All that material will be posted here eventually.
But, given the economy, it is perhaps no surprise that what more people want to read is how to save money on groceries through Extreme Couponing. Yesterday, Ralphs' new and more restrictive coupon policy was reported on the second page of the Los Angeles Times business section and the KTTV Ten O'Clock News (and probably elsewhere). And today, the L.A. Times business section reported the higher-than-expected earnings posted by the Kroger Compnay, Ralphs' corporate parent. The story attributed part of the company's strong performance to its new "lower prices" strategy, already implemented elsewhere around the country.
Hmmm. Lower prices, higher profits? What, they make it up in volume? I've done my own informal survey of the new "lower" prices at Ralphs, and from what I can tell so far, lower is the new higher. Saving money is going to be tougher than ever -- but it can be done. Expect the first installment later this week.
New poll will be posted as soon as its subject comes to me through hallucination, divine osmosis or random inspiration.
