you only thought you got rid of me!

Yesterday I might have claimed as a mental health day, but anyone who’s met me knows that’s bat shit crazy talk and besides we’ve been taking the day off since mid-March.  Found this incredible YouTube channel called TastingHistory with Max Miller, where this really hot guy not only makes ancient foods, he gives us the history involved.  Warning:  These are seriously-addicting, which is why two loads of laundry were put on the line and the rest of the day went to hell.  I’ve linked to the Buttered Beer video, but every single one of these is fascinating.

Never Let a Good Crisis Go to Waste

In the early days and weeks of the coronavirus pandemic, many retailers stopped issuing printed weekly ads and cut back on promotions, while some manufacturers stopped issuing coupons.

By now, though, many of the weekly ads are back, and coupons are becoming more plentiful. But what if some marketers wager that shoppers have gotten used to fewer coupons and promotions, so now could be a perfect time to cut back, or do away with them for good?
