In these economic times, cutting costs to keep prices constant is essential to survival – unless of course you diminish quality or product substance. In today’s Wall Street Journal mention is made of Toshiba Corp procuring components for its digital gadgetry from China and South Korea versus Japan will save the company in excess of $11 billion over the next three years. Cost efficiency like these are crucial, particularly in newly emerging markets, if Japanese electronics makers are to compete against Asian rivals. But I must draw the line when it comes to the recent cost cutting measures at my local Krispy Kreme.
Inserted as Exhibit A – a picture of my most recent purchase of a “Hot’n Now” dozen, depicting the largest donut hole ever seen in Krispie Kreme history.

Well… I guess it is for our own good; health, waist line, etc. Sure does make me sad that cost cutting has hit us so severely.
Yum….
Wait a tick, since when does 9 equal 12???. Maybe the dozen is in fat grams….
