In the last week I have seen at least two restaurants advertise recession specials. Cici's pizza buffet, formerly at $4.49 or $4.99, is now offering their all-you-can-eat pizza buffet for $3.99 and calling it a bailout plan for your wallet or something.
Similarly, KFC has a new recession menu that is basically a drinkless combo meal with 2 pc chicken plus biscuit or 3 pc strips plus biscuit for $2.49.
I have also seen some airlines offering free cancellations if you get laid off before you take your vacations.
Obviously these are mainly marketing gimmicks to get people in the door and drum up business, but also good values for many. Have you seen any other promotions that are playing off the current recession/depression?
