In this week’s AARP email, associate editor Neil Wertheimer shares the secrets of achieving a 57% discount on groceries; information kept from the general public, I assume, by greedy CEOs who place corporate profits ahead of the public welfare. Mr. Wertheimer’s tale of securing groceries that would retail for $350.00 at the incredible price of $200.00 gives me hope that eradicating world hunger is a real possibility. Let me share a few of his mind-blowing suggestions:
- Use Digital coupons.
- Use in-store flyer coupons.
- Opt for store brands.
- Scour the shelves for members only and manager’s specials.
- Go to multiple stores, (he visited 4), including an Asian Market where he finds cheaper produce.
I hope he is altruistic enough to share these life-altering suggestions worldwide; even with people who cannot afford to pay the AARP annual membership fee. Let your mind grasp the possibilities and dream of a better world where Bangladesh would no longer need a Mother Teresa; Somali pirates would hang up their hooks and eyepatches to run fishing charters and Haiti might get its first Walmart!
Neil Wertheimer: A hungry world salutes you!
