Limit drastically the variety of things available, just have a lot of one thing. Have them pay money to have the privilege to spend money there, don't take coupons or credit cards (other then sponsored ones). Do not offer any way for them to carry the groceries after they leave the store with the exception of three sided boxes. Oh, and did I mention charge them a fee every year to do that. Yea, I probably did! What kind of a salesman was required to sell that concept to investors? They convinced someone though. How did they get that even started and how did they convince the public that it was worth the money to be able to do so. It sure worked, but I'm at a loss to know how. Maybe it was the $1.69 hot dog and soft drink that did it. You can now log back on to Facebook.

Now back to your regularly scheduled Facebook update.

Don't buy batteries, for example, there is no cost savings. But, perishables, like meat, dairy, bread, they have great deals.
