I know from my last post you might be a little concerned that a 30 “family” pack of Bud is in poor taste.

And it is. See not everyone has a large family. Take mine for instance. Since my oldest moved out, it is just my husband, my little one, and me. There must have been many small families, like mine, who called in to voice their complaint. And they listened. Because now they have a 12 “family” pack for just $999.

Yes, folks, you don’t need a second mortgage to afford a 12 pack. You see, $83.25 per beer is a lot more doable than $1999 for 30 beers (though, there is a cost savings with this number at $66.63 per beer). I know we have a growing child, but 30 beers is excessive. We don’t want to be show offs
While I applaud their efforts at customer satisfaction by offering less product for more money, I still think we small families get the shaft. But hey, the price of gas has gone down. Maybe it’s all connected.

The price of diesel has come down too! Those are prices that we can only gaze at wistfully in Europe. £10 worth of petrol will only get me to the next petrol station.
Tooty~Why doesn’t my computer have that Euro dollar sign ability? Are you able to do this? $
I want one. I want fancy symbols. (I probably have them but son’t know my way around simple computer features yet.)
You make me laugh. And today that is particularly appreciated. xo
J~Glad I made you laugh. 🙂
Last time I saw the photo I just noticed that it said “Bud Family” what I didn’t notice was that they didn’t put a decimal in their amount.
Very expensive beer… and gas 😦
Mel~Yes, the recession has made it near impossible to afford the gas to buy the overpriced beer for your family. Such a farce.
I’m thinking you live near a dry county and the hiked-up prices are for the people who travel from dry counties and stop at the first place that sells beer.
Ahmnodt Heare~Could be. I don’t know. My mom sends me these from her daily errands. She lives in Oklahoma and this very well could be a dry county. They did, afterall, have the hottest summer on record. Maybe this was near where the road buckled under the heat. If that is so, I, myself would have paid 1999 for a 30 pack.
