RED PLUM
Are you getting your Red Plum coupons in the mail? Have you contacted Red Plum to get them to send you the coupons? Do you wish they would just put them back in the Sunday paper? Post your comments about the situation and read what you can do on http://www.BringBackTheCoupons.com. Let them know that you want them back in the paper. I’ve noticed that the coupons they send in the mail aren’t as many as I would find in the paper. I noticed it when I got a Sunday paper in another city. There were more in their paper than what I got in the mail.
If your local paper falls below 60% penetration of the market, you too will see your coupons mailed to your home. R ead the story:

BONUSES
Can you believe that some of the companies that are getting bailed out are giving bonuses! So many companies are being affected by the bad decisions of these banks and yet they are giving millions in bonuses. Atrocious. They say they need to keep these people while they go through their changes – so in other words the same people that got you in this mess you want them to fix their issues. I think there are plenty of good people out there that need a job that can do much better and also realize that bonuses are for those that deserve it. Even when things were going well for the banks the bonuses were ridiculously high – they increased fees and lowered interest rates for all of us – when is enough enough for them. They couldn’t control themselves so now regulations and oversight will come back in vogue.
