  1. Re:Hamburger Helper still exists? on Walmart Is Raising Prices Online To Increase In-Store Traffic (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, the beef would come from you, it's just the helper. Also the Cheesy Beef Pasta does have Ricotta Cheese, Blue Cheese and Cheddar Cheese, dried as an ingredient along with other cheese enzymes. So for the $2.50 you get the Pasta, the cheese, and the spices. No mixing, it's easy to do, etc.

    Didn't you kind of answer your own question? Delivery makes little economic sense, so Amazon bought a brick and mortar stores. The above poster kind of talked about overhead with warehouses, but Walmart has those too.

    I agree, but even Amazon has 5-10 buck shipping on items without Prime and without hitting the free-shipping threshold for cost.

    They usually have a $35 for free shipping at Walmart.com or free in-store pickup. I'm sure they have crazy shipping charges to encourage people to buy more things.

    " they're desperate white trash and they serve them well." Right there, that shows you have no clue about Walmart, where they've expanded and that they made smaller market stores and are now making upscale stores. http://www.businessinsider.com...

    You're missing out on a lot of savings ignoring good mail in rebates. I just did 3 for Bushnell, ended up with free Binoculars, half off another pair and big savings off of another item. I think what you really mean is those crappy best buy and circuit city ones from back in the day that you never got fulfilled. Nowadays a lot of the mail in rebates have online components for tracking and verifying and it's easy to take pictures or make copies of receipts.

    Many cable companies including Comcast have $50 cable packages. You also have to remember since everyone still needs the internet I think they take that into account on cost estimates.

    My current package with DVR rental, tech fee, taxes, cable internet, HBO, Modem fee, is $124. I can't find many of the old shows I DVR on Hulu, Prime or Netflix (which has had many content issues and will going forward). I could buy my own modem and probably should but I don't feel like dealing with comcast to get it registered on their system and save like $5-8 or something. The internet alone still costs like $70. So I am currently paying $54 for cable and HBO. For Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Netflix along with HBO I'd be paying close to that still be missing shows. So I don't know if it's really a win to drop cable yet. I'm more inclined to drop Netflix at this point (I get Hulu through family). Of course the streams are ad free, and since I DVR most of my shows they are essentially ad free too with the page up skip ahead 30 sec button enabled.

  22. What's reasonable? CBS all access seems reasonable to me yet everyone is shitting on it.

  23. To have access to public TV and over air broadcasts in the US we pay nothing except a meager tax from our income that the gov hands to public television. So for that 147 pounds you pay, we pay almost nothing, like 50 cents.

  24. Actually no, that's the whole issue. It isn't legal to get those broadcasts outside of the broadcast area. Simple as that.

  25. Exactly this. Even HBO costs me less while going through Comcast than it does as a stand alone. And with DVR recording shows that aren't on Hulu or Netflix (which I have or have access to) really diminishes the cord cutting value. People thought TV companies would be happy with $1-$5 and they are, as long as you watch their ads they are, "but that's a deal breaker" people scream. I've lost all sympathy for the "give me an easy way to legally stream it and I'll pay" people, because it was all lies by most of them. They just want free content, or so cheap it might as well seem free or with caveats that make it so they still feel morally right when acquiring it without providing compensation.
