I’m so tired of all retail chains and (recently) insurance companies equating “savings” with “now I have more money.” Hey, I just spent 7000 dollars I didn’t really have to spend …but look at all the money I saved!
“Save as much as X dollars…or more!”
“Most locations open until midnight, or later!”
I heard both of these on TV today, and I hate hate hate these statements (I was considering putting this in the nerd rage thread). Neither of these statements provide me any information whatsoever. I can save some amount, that is either greater or less than X. Fan-tastic. A certain store might be open until midnight, or it might be open later than that. Great.
