SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, Payday Loans and SPAM

Now is the winter of our discontent, when we must turn off the spam blockers that protect our hearts and admit that payday loans are useful and SPAM is interesting, if not tasty.

“SPAM, SPAM, SPAM, SPAM…”

Difficult times require drastic measures

Dark economic times has placed a greater than normal burden upon American families. In order to continue to put food on the table while still being able to meet responsibilities like rent, utilities and insurance, some families must drastically reassess how much they spend on day-to-day expenses such as food.

Hormel steps in to fill the breach with pork product

SPAM and Dinty Moore stew and chili will be hitting the shelves at grocery stores across America in greater numbers as the demand for cheaper meals increases. According to parent company Hormel’s CEO Jeffrey Ettinger, the company has been “really pushing capacity limits” at its canned food facilities and has had to add an existing production facility to meet demand.

On the home front, Americans found it difficult to buy the meat they needed, because so much of it was being used to supply the troops. SPAM proved popular with civilians as well, since they could purchase it with their green ration coupons. Its low cost and long shelf life suited the times, as did Dinty Moore stew and Hormel chili. Much like faxless payday loans today, these products filled a definite consumer need.

63 years later, we hit the SPAM again

Here’s your three-step SPAM program:

• It’s cheap, it’s edible, you can feed your family with it in an emergency… and it’s carvable!

• Here’s a guy who ate SPAM three meals a day for 30 days – BECAUSE HE COULD!

• Why not play a SPAM game?

OK, one more… for those of you who know SPAM thanks to Monty Python, enjoy!

Here’s something else that’s helpful when you’re on a budget

Whether you like SPAM or not, it’s obvious that if you need to put a cheap meal on the table, SPAM is a viable option. Another thing that can help your budget out when you’re hit by surprise expenses during these tough times is payday loans. They’re quick, convenient and much less expensive that paying a penalty due to a bounced check or late bill payment.
