Not Such a Good Thing Anymore

I've noticed that many coupons now state you must buy two of the items in order to use a coupon with the same amount off as when you only needed to buy one. I think there are many people, such as those with limited space, limited income who simply can't buy, or don't need two. Some companies have reduced the number of items in a package and sell them for the same price, for example what once sold as six sausages now sells with five. Older couples with no children at home and on Social Security must now buy two of these packages to each have one sausage a night for three nights. When is anyone going to start catering to the Baby Boomers, who are in such large numbers, rather than the usual demographics of ages twenty to forty?
