So long as the price tag isn’t jacked up a dollar to offset

It already is, though. GM increases the price of every item by the value on the box top so it’s a through-tax that you get to pay. Every top not given to a school is just more money in the bank for them.

Yea I'm more of a generics/bulk kinda guy. If it's a dollar toward my loans + an upcharge on the actual item, then fuggit, I'm sticking with the cheapies.
