Variations of rebate scams (con't from "would you lend").     

This variation of the rebate scam suckers in a tremendous amout of people.

IN STORE REBATE.                    

The "in store rebate" is nothing more than a promotional  device . A mail in rebate does not exist. Its a fabrication of advertising executives that are laughing all the way to the bank. It's made up!!!

The whole crazy trend started with the auto business, (see auto scams) and the public eats it up.

If you haven't read the page about Harry and Fred in "Why subscribe/CD info" I suggest you browse thru the second page.

Water and the DT's (no not the alcoholic type)

Water is water, or is it? Today a simple thing like water has been recruited by corportate and used against the consumer in order to get your money without you realizing you have been had.

In doing research for this site, while at a local grocery store, not a mega/superstore, I counted the different types of water that was for sale.There were over 25 different types of bottled water for sale each at different prices.

There were brands like :Nestle, Ozarka, Save, Hinckley, Abso pure, Evian, Flavor splash, Aqua Fina, Perrier, Hawaii, Mountain valley, Puro Life, Natural, Mountain Valey and on and on. Each of the mentioned brands had several different sizes to choose from.

This distraction is an age old sales gimmick, a cosing technique to get you to commit to a sale. You stand there thinking "which one do I want" (do you want it in red or blue) rather than price or necessity.

All of the water ranged at about the same price. Even if a consumer compares the prices the fact is that they have mentally committed to buy bottled water of some type.

To further obscure the diversion the consumer now has to try to figure out if they are getting a better deal if they buy: the 6 pack 12 oz. bottle, the 24 pack 16 oz, the 16 pack 10 oz, the 10 pack 8 oz, the 24 pack 20 oz, the 20 pack 14 oz, the 12 pack 12 oz or the 24 pack 20 oz.

Once you figure out what size of water you want the next step is to figure out the best deal for the price an note, there has been a huge price increase in "water' in just the past 5 years.

Fact. Of the 25 different brand names of water, 6 of them were owned or controlled by the same company.

Of course it depends on where you buy your water. It's costing you more than you think.

Convience stores are higher yet. Look what the same water will cost

you.  Just one bottle a day will cost you $ 332.64 per year. (see "But I don't have any money" in Our future)

The divisionary tactic is working.
