While likely considered blasphemy in America, land of the free-to-consume-moar, there is another way...

This is brilliant. Now, if I don't work too often, I might break even.
Then there's also the Ferguson Five Finger Discount, often engaged in during romantic fire light celebrations, the teeming masses screaming with glee, prancing about with abandon, enjoying every moment of their cultural practices, for which there is no employment requirement to participate.
100% of nothing is 20% of something Knuks.
Look at the bond market. 5's are inverted back to 2008.
The curve is flattening, and it's the {whole curve}
Save up to 100% on your food bill. Grow your own.
Save up to 100% on your gym membership. Go running and do push-ups.
Save up to 100% on your cable bill. Throw away your television.
Save up to 100% on your state income taxes. Move to Texas.
Save up to 100% on your gasoline bill. Ride a bike.
It's all in my new book:
"Don't Buy Stuff You Cannot Afford."

And after they are done, you can wander through the store,
and pick up all the work boots.
Knucks, it seems that some want the same"Ferguson Five Finger Discount" on their fuckin grades too. You can't make this shit up.

Uncle Al wants you, for the Free Shit Army.
I've been taking advantage of that "offer" for a while now.
Next step is reducing my "taxable income"
It's really amazing how much we can all do without.
I can do without Washington DC.
I have been haunting the area Thrift distribution ctr during my morning coffee run, where they bring stuff into bins for the final pick over before the stuff is sorted to go to Africa and India. Under a buck a pound and lower prices for higher weight amounts. So far I've scored three very lightly used name brand winter coats, two outer shells including a heavy duty Gortex storm shell. These things are costing new in excess of $300-500, for me $2-3. A sterling silver platter was found recently. Much of the stuff is absolute trash, but there is also treasure simply because Americans are too stupid to know the one from the other: new facial sauna unit, new ORECK electrostatic air purifiers, etc. Pennies on the dollar. Miners these days think they have a great gold ore deposit if they get 1 gram of gold from a metric tonne of ore. My arb on this stuff is far, far higher than that, for far less effort and expense.
Since we have set up the world like this, in effect, when the third worlders pray for a better life, they are praying that our wives will go shopping and buy the products they make.
I do not know anyone in my sphere of friends who is buying one damn thing for this moar 'holiday'. The line at the Post Office today was for stamps not boxes.
There is a local retailer in a mall nearby my house that sells glasses and sunglasses. He had a sign in his store in October reading 50 PERCENT OFF!! It reads 75 PERCENT as of last weekend. Poor fucker has a lot of smart customers.
I am part of the problem. I bought a set of 4 reading glasses at the Costco across the street for 15 bucks. Fuck me...I am part of the problem.
I buy my reading glasses and sunglasses at Dollar Tree for a buck. They work just as well as those overpriced ones at Costco.
Yep, you are part of the problem.
A buck? Fuck me. I got what I deserved.
I don't buy reading glasses.
You have made your choice.
If 'you' don't buy 'reading glasses', then 'reading glasses' WILL buy 'YOU'!
'Preppers' (those crazy people who live in caves and wear tin-foil hats) STOCK UP on shit like this. WHEN the 'collapse' really DOES happen, 'reading glasses' will be quite hard to find; and therefore valuable... like deodorant and soap and toothpaste and tampons and Spam and matches and potable water and stuff like that.
HELL, your eyes might get old someday. YOU sure the hell will (if you live that long).
I DON'T 'buy' (or 'sell') 'GLD' and 'SLV'. Why SHOULD I? I can trade my goods for it as long as civility lasts... and i can't EAT the stuff, or warm myself with it, or clothe myself with it... and without Dollar Store eyeglasses, I can't even read the denominations on the parchment that claims that I own 'x-and such' amount of it... which can be used to start a wood fire that will keep me warm...
Good on you mate, apart from supporting the broke welfare program that is the USPS.
Unfortunately there are still plenty of idiots out there maxing out their credit cards
I do not know anyone in my sphere of friends who is buying one damn thing for this moar 'holiday'.
we stopped buying xmas presents...we just enjoy the food and friends...no shopping...it's so much nicer and so much more peaceful and relaxing...no pressure.

How many Hello Kitty vibrators does that buy?
About 100 km.
Lined up end to end, 100 km of 'Hello Kitty' vibrators could potentially bring 1.2 billion female humans to a single orgasm (before the Chinese-made battery packs ran out of electricity).
I recall the transposition of 45 miles equalling 72 km. The hardest part is getting 1.2 billion females to congregate together without pulling each other's hair out, and getting them to 'experience the moment' together in a straight line of 60 miles or so without their clothing on. WAIT:
THERE'S A BIG SALE AT MACY'S! PERSONAL BATTERY-POWERED MUSCLE RELAXERS OVER 70% OFF!
Stand BACK...
Papa, nothing moves in a straight line.
Be patient,
So, what's new.
Tyler, respectfully.
Mr. Durdan,
I respectfully request your assistance to ask that you don't pussify this websight?\
If the controlling interest of Zero/Hedge is sold, LOOK INTO THE SKY!
I see a giant fire breathing unicorn!
Dear Mr. Cross:
We see that you are accusing us of tailoring our raw stories and postings to reflect some type of imagined 'propaganda' bias towards some 'type' of'goal'.
Of course, your accusations about 'being sold' are paramount AND tantamount to your claims, and any information that you have (such as documentation) would be appreciated by both 'the Tylers', and everyone (else) who posts on this website.
Thank you for your time, and your response in this matter is appreciated.
Sincerely,
Mr. Tyler Durden

I just laughed so loud my wife slammed the door upstairs.
MEEEEE 2...that was funny!
I'll be selling books on Amazon this holiday season. So I'm monetizing old books, old boxes (cut up to wrap the books), and my late aunt's stamp collection. (What sort of chump collects stamps? They're government-issued paper that can only be spent on one thing.)
A penny saved is a penny earned.
A penny saved will be devalued by the Fed.
SNL was way ahead of it's time on this.
