The same goes for those who can afford the extra money for hybrid vehicles. There is an assumption on the part of the business that anyone who can afford to buy a hybrid has more cash to spend on products that they see as being more “eco-friendly”. The store assumes that this customer will, in seeing the store’s support for such things, associate that store with being more “eco-friendly” and thus choose that store over others.
LOL. You know where they need the spots for mothers/expectant mother's? Superstore!! I don't think it's "supermom" of me to want to buy cheap groceries. But the logistics of doing so with a young baby/stoller in the middle of winter are pretty annoying.

The fact that I spend far too much on the baby 'Joe' clothing doesn't factor into it at all...
