Discount retailer Target Corp. said Thursday that August same-store sales fell 2.1 percent as consumers shopped cautiously, mainly for essentials like food.I guess to some people so out of touch with reality who think the world outside of their gated villa is entirely fine and dandy, this story has some value. Unfortunately, those people do not read newspapers because they have people on their staff who brief them on important things such as the performance of their stock portfolio and whether or not Pedro has finished waxing the Leer Jet.
Ah, to be so oblivious.

What is it with all these "dog bites man" stories these days? "People buy food"; "Study shows college students often drink too much"; "It's raining today"; etc. Bleh.
Essential items??? I think that all depends on your view point. In my home...wine is essential. We would gladly forgo a loaf of bread for a less than stellar bottle of sauvignon blanc.
Food is essential - well duh!
