I could be drinking high-quality beer for cheap all summer. I was ecstatic. I am so tired of drinking cheap brands of beer (since I&#8217;m poor), I put my shoes on and I was all ready to go to Walmart and pick up three or four 24-packs of Bud Light! Yah Hoo!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Alas, I checked the stores in my town and nearby, and the cheapest I could find was $21.99. Which is $7 more expensive than El Cheapo Light which I buy for $14.99.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Since, truth is now so hard to find, and everyone is smart, I provide the following non-AI, unaltered images to prove that 24 packs of Bud Light are not (at least in my little world) selling for $3.49.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2023\/budlight0.png\" alt=\"Bud Light 24 Pack - Walmart\" width=\"326\" height=\"530\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2023\/budlight2.png\" alt=\"Bud Light 24-pack - Target\" width=\"580\" height=\"430\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2023\/budlight1.png\" alt=\"Bud Light 24-pack - Meijer\" width=\"312\" height=\"539\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2023\/budlight3.png\" alt=\"Bud Light 24-Pack -Kroger\" width=\"444\" height=\"445\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Maybe I&#8217;m not as smart as I think.\u00a0 How could I ever believe that something so grand as getting 24 cans of brand-name light beer for $3.49 could be true?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\">How dumb could I be?
