I realize now where my life went arry in my supermarket. Nothing has ever been the same since I bought the frugan. The fugan has been the bane of my existence. It has been the curse of my store. But it's almost gone now. And when the fugan is gone, finally I will be able to thrive as an operation, thrive as a store. I will be able to ascend to levels of supermarket dum that nobody has ever seen or ever will again. All will know my supermarket of raw and all will tremble for when I am free of the shackles of my loan and also my yogurt.
I will become unstoppable. Also, can these stragglers hurry up? Is there a way to like get through the stragglers of the day? I feel like if I just press enter or their items are just going to disappear. It's not like they're going to go back on the shelf. They're just not going to complete their transactions. So, I kind of have to wait until the end of the day when these guys just finish up their business. But whatever. Don't matter. Why are you still shopping? Just go home. You don't need that many potatoes. Just go home. Just be done with it. Fine. All right. Let me catch you up to speed. There is a new feature called bulk pricing. And I can make everything
9% above, which takes out a lot of the work. I know it doesn't make numbers clean like I've liked before, but at least it makes it a little bit more manageable. I want to drop my frugan even more. I want it to be a 30% sale, maybe even 35%. I want that frugan gone. I have paid off my loan early. I have no payments left. See, none. And I'm level 48, which means that I'm very close to getting a loan of the next level after corporate. And I know you might be thinking, "No, you just got out of debt. You can't get another loan. That would be stupid." Oh, are you stupid? How do you know you're not stupid? Because I know what I'm doing, I think. But either way, I need that truck again. The truck
is what I need. If I can get the truck, if I can pay off the truck, if I can get a even bigger loan and I can pay off that truck, I'm going to be able to get supplies. I didn't know what I had. I mean, I could have afforded the truck anyway because I was like super duper out of, you know, I was Jesus. That's the only profit I got. But I had to pay off my loan. I paid off my loan today. I didn't pay my bills. God damn it. Open. But if I can get the rest of what I need, I will be set for life. This is coffee. So, all I need to do is get good and make a few more runs on foot. Lixian, make this nice and dramatic.
Also, blow her up. Okay, good. I can blow her up. Blow him up over there. Blow. No, she's fine. Blow the entire park up. Okay, great. Don't go mad with power, please. I'm sorry. Blow up whoever you want to blow up. I'm sorry. Don't blow up me. Not me. Don't me. Not me. I don't want to blow up. I don't want to blow it up so many times. I don't think I'll come back from this one.
He bought it. 9% might be too aggressive. I'm not sure if there's like a standard amount. Nine or eight. Eight probably is a little better for pricing for if I'm just bulk pricing everything. I was playing a little bit. Sorry you weren't able to see it. You weren't there when I was doing that. Sorry. Hey, wonk. Sorry. I know. I Whoa. [__] dude. I already Okay. Right. I'm seeing some new outfits, too. They had a few updates to the game. I think they might have gotten a kick in the ass from Supermarket together. Nothing like a little competition. But nobody in this town better have any competition to me. You better keep it nice and me. I like a monopoly. That's why that's what I'm all about. I don't
want any competition. I don't need any competition. Sorry, ma'am. I'm already on it. Too expensive. What do you mean too expensive? It's only 8. Okay. I guess that is that 8%. Yeah, I guess. Huh. Weird. Maybe I should only be like 5%. No, I think 8%. It's okay to have a little bit slight some of them too expensive. I think that'll be fine. But my frugan, my fugan is almost gone. I can't believe it. I actually am almost out of fugan, which is incredible. It might even be considered incred. Yes. Get the frugan. Hey, have some more.
It's really on sale and really good. Oh, you better believe this definitely isn't old. It's not like actually years old from when I started this playthrough. It's It's definitely really fresh and really good. You should have more. Now I can free up this space and I can have another fridge item in here. Oh, it's going to be amazing. And then I do want to eventually have uh a uh a checkout counter again, a real one, not just having the selfch checkouts because I don't feel like you can actually have a real grocery store or consider yourself to be a real supermarket magnate like myself unless you actually have a checkout counter. I mean, if I go in my day-to-day life and I bemoone, and you might be able to back
me up on this, if I bemoone the fact that I go to a place and it's only selfch checkckout, even though I do that, I just don't like it as much. You know what I mean? I just I feel bad. I feel like there should be an option for the weirdos that want that. What am I trying to defend here? God, it's it's down to like two and a half shelves worth of Thugan. I'm almost free. Can't believe it. I'm almost free. You want to sell? Oh [__] Wait, hold on. Hold that. Hold that thought. Uh, where is it? Okay. What was that? P. What? P. NO. HEY. OH.
MY STOCK. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? COME BACK. I WANT TO SELL. So 5:31. I want to experiment with like 6:00. I turn this off because I'm thinking that the stragglers are going to come through anyway. Right about the time that it's time to turn on the lights. Turn that on. Turn this off. Bonk. So that by the time 9:00 rolls around, the people that will be in here will have actually closed up shop. Does that make sense? Does that make sense, everybody? If it doesn't, Lexi's going to You better pray this is over a 100. You better pray. You better pray this is a You're lucky, aren't you? You're lucky. You're real lucky.
All right. I think that strategy might have worked cuz if no one else is Are you really coming in? But I'm closed. No, it's closed. What are you doing? Where? Where'd you spawn in from? What? Did the opera just get out? What? What do you mean? It's closed. It's It's closed. We're closed. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, that's good. Okay, they're turned away. This is good because I just have a few people left and if they're turned away, it's not a bad thing because they would be strolling in at 8:00 and I wouldn't be able to finish what I needed to finish.
I could probably get away with closing at 7 if this is the case because I can only end the day at 9 anyway. I don't know if I want the stragglers. I still got some people that are going to be here. I think 6 actually is the proper time cuz I want to be able to end the day boom right on nine as close as possible. I just can't take those straggler customers because the majority of people coming into the store come later anyway or earlier anyway. So now I could end the day and I want everyone to be gone. So 6 actually seems like the ideal spot because the last ones are just finishing up now. Yeah, just like that. LOOK AT THAT GUY TRYING TO COME IN. IT'S LITERALLY PAST 9. Where do you get the
potatoes? What are you trying to give me potatoes? What are you doing? You going to drop that on the floor when you get in here? All right. Boom. Done. That's how we do it. We may have 63 customers, but it takes less time to be able to get through them. How am I not making money? We're open. I'm just going to quickly do the bulk pricing. 8% apply. Confirm. Here we go. How am I making I mean, I know I'm not going out and I'm getting the food. That's what I need. But I really need to get out of this hole in the ground. I really want to get out of this hole in the ground. I really
really It's only when the frugan will be gone. Oh man, only one person got thran last time. Why? This town just doesn't eat yogurt. Or maybe because really old and disgusting. Oh, that can't be it. Markiplier, what are you stupid and evil? Don't be stupid and evil. Everyone loves yogurt. Everyone good and pure of heart loved yogurt. Don't be stupid and evil. is what it is. Bonk. Double bonk. Okay. $3,97. No loans, bills due. Get another section if I had money, which I don't and I don't want to.
Cash your four. My god. Ice cream helpers. I forgot about ice cream. Wait, I could change the entrance appearance. What does that even mean? Oh, oh, oh. Oh, I love the double wide. Wait, I do like that the awning's nice. I like this. I'm doing this. We're doing it. This is going to bring in the customers hugely. Yes. Tell me it slides. You telling me I paid for an upgrade to get sliding doors that don't slide? Why don't they slide? Why? Why don't they open and close? Why don't they do that? Why wouldn't they do that?
Why wouldn't they do that? They're sliding automatic doors. It has an automatic door sensor. Why wouldn't they do that? You son of a [__] I'm out of breath. What's even the point? Let's see. Let's see the point. What would be the point of that? What would be the point? What would be the point of not having that? Why would you not have that? Why would you put that in and not have that? Why would you subject me to that? Why would you make me endure the indignity of that? Why do I have to suffer? Why must I suffer? Why at every turn when I try to genuinely DO SOMETHING NICE FOR MY STORE,
you go, "Oops, no. Nuh-uh. That ain't what it is, you stupid. I legit I'm furious. I am actually I'm so furious. I am livid. I am I'm so livid. And I'm closing the store right there. I am livid. I'm going to get toilet paper to alleviate my sorrows. Oh my god. I want this truck so bad. I just need the truck. If I can get the truck, I'd be able to finally turn over. I don't know why I didn't do enough with it. I took it for granted. I had to give it back anyway. I couldn't afford anything. I was in bed. Oh, it's fine. It's good actually. I like it. You know, it's a safety feature. When people are in the store, they need that open because otherwise they would might close on them and that'd be bad.
Humanity could not sustain such an obstacle. These poor simple people would never be able to endure the indignity of it if it actually closed. Especially even when the store says closed, why would it actually be closed? I cannot believe that. I cannot believe it. Was it too difficult to make that happen? Was it too difficult? Oh, good. That does end at right at exactly the right time. Was it too difficult? Was it too much of a big problem? Was it too oopsy poopsy problematic? What is the issue? I'm going 7%. Maybe I can get all of the people happy. I don't know. Maybe they'll be happy. What was the issue? I was staring the sun a while. Oh,
what the [__] Wait, where the sun? Oh my god. Wait, what the [__] Why does the sun disappear when you look at it? To prevent eye damage. That's safety. Is my fugan? Yes. Oh, you don't want more? You don't want more of the fugan? You don't want more of the fugan? Fugan's really good for you. It's got probiotics in them. It's got live bacteria in them. That's good for your gut. How is your gut? Is it good? You got good gut. I hear they do poop transplants for better gut biome. You know, they say the gut biome actually influences your entire day in life and your entire functional system. How's your gut biome?
Why aren't YOU TELLING ME YOU NEED MORE frugin in your life? I don't even see any frugin in here. Are you the same person that I was following before? Oh, I better follow you to make sure. WHERE'S YOUR FUGAN? Did you buy it? Where's your frugin? I don't see it in your bag. Where's your frugin? Don't look at the sun. It's gone. But not for There it is. Don't look at it. It'll disappear on you just like the frugan. You better go back and get some more. Do you want some fugan? Frugan.
I mean, you know, it's a limited thing. You got to get it while the getting's good. You know, you got to make sure you jump on this. Oh my god, I found the spawn point. You ever just see a little too deep into the ether? Ever stare into the abyss and it just decided to stare back? I think I stared too deep. Everybody, you know, for running a supermarket, I sure am going to get groceries a lot more than I thought I ever would. Why am I the one that needs to go get groceries? I mean, I know why. You got to stock your store somehow. But it's like these people could buy these groceries
anywhere. I know they don't need the bulk quantities that I'm getting, but I don't know. That just seems right. Like, doesn't it? Huh? You get what I'm saying? You don't understand what I'm saying? Such good frugan. Be frugal with frugan. You're going to regret not fruging up this deal. Don't frug it up. Should have said that first. I didn't. How we doing? We doing good? We doing good, everybody? Everybody happy? All customers happy? Everybody looking good? Everybody feeling good? Good. We're really turning it around. Whose [__] said that was too expensive? Was it you? Who? Who was it? Well, it had to have been
one of you. I'm not crazy. Someone's got to admit it or both of you are going to get punished. Anybody? More of that. Oh god, it's time to close. Doink. Doink. We are doing pretty okay. I would say the money is climbing. I am finally out of the deep hole that I was in. And I'm in a moderately deep hole. Got to pay my bills. But I've got $6,500 in the bank. Well, not in the bank. In my checking account in the bank, not my savings account. Wonder if I could have a savings account in this game. Or if I could acrue interest.
I probably could acrue interest. The curse is almost lifted. It truly is looking like this is where the nightmare is currently at. I have 35 left and then the curse will finally be lifted. Curse is almost I'm almost free. Are you done? Last customers. It is so much better closing at 6. God, it's so much better. Oh my god, it's so much better closing at six. That's right. Get out of here. Can you hurry up? No, I know the doors stay open and it looks like it's open because our doors are literally wide open and never closed, but we're closed. Trust me. My god. How much did you Not 100. Okay, you're lucky. $875 of profit. It's not
bad. It's not bad. It is not bad. It's not bad. Just going to make sure that all of our pricing is exactly where it should be. I mean, I had it at seven. If people are going to be mad anyway, I'll put it at 8. You know, I'm not going to be that much of a stickler about it, but getting closer. I mean, honestly, if it keeps up this way, at a certain point, I'll be able to get the pickup truck without a loan because the loan is what kills me. And I know that these loans are bad, but I'm willing to bet this loan right here is really good for me. Like I know it says that the return payment is literally double what the original loan is and it seems super predatory, but imagine how
much it'll give me when I'm able to blah. Am I right? Who am I not right about? Right. I just remembered I [__] bought a third one of these. God, I must have been struggling about something because that is not a mentally sound decision. Why would I do that? I don't know. Get going. We got a business to run. Probably shouldn't waste too much money on boosting them. I have a feeling that it seems like I'm not spending a lot, but in the end I'm spending quite a bit.
Not that they don't deserve it, but you know, they could work a little harder without me having to offer them such goodies. Just saying. It would be nice. How we doing on the frugan? Oh my god, we're almost Oh god, we're down to one. One shelf. We're down to one shelf. We got 20. Oh my god, the curse. THIS IS A NORMAL RESPONSE. THAT WAS SO GOOD. What the [__] is wrong with me? I don't know who that was, man. That person jail immediate. Super prison. Yep. That whoever that was that said that broke into my recording room and said
that into the microphone. Super prison. Yeah. Absolutely. And last one in. Anybody else about to Nope. All right. Closed. I'm going to reclaim some space and put these things in fridges of their own because the shelf space is just very small for them. So eventually I need more so I don't have to stock them as much. Something blah. Actually running a store effectively. Blah. Fake lies. Lots of lies. Saying lies. Trying to sound convincing. Failing. Blah. Are we done? Oh, we're done. Okay. funk. Oh my god. Negative profit. How?
How? Why? Why is my staff payment higher than it was the other day? Oh, because I was giving him bonuses. That's right. This place is getting a mess. I really need a loan to help take care of. But the problem is, if my profit margin is always so bad, then I'm never going to be able to actually get ahead. And no matter what the scale of the operation is, I seem to be only ever making the same amount of money. Maybe I got to diversify my market. Or maybe I need an even bigger. Huh? Yeah, I'll take it. 11. 11 left. Just 11. Oh my god. I can't believe the curse is almost gone. I don't even know what I'm going to do when the curse is lifted. I don't I mean, money is going to rain from the
skies and heavens like none other. And I'm going to be drowning in the amount of money that I'm going to be making. I'm going to be able to swim in it Scrooge McDuck style. It's going to be incredibly ouch. Too expensive. It's 8% over market price. Just get over yourselves, man. Right now, I just got to get through. Oh, it's going to happen. Who's going to be the one? Who's going to be Yes. You look like a Thugan lady. Oh, no. You look like you love. Yes. Oh my. Yes. FRUGAN. ONLY TWO LEFT. You want some frugan, sir? Frugan for you, sir. Frugan. Two. Frugan for the price of two. You want some frugan?
Anybody for the frugan? Frugan of a lifetime. It's fugan. Great. Frugan. You're making a beline right for the frugan. I can tell you're a frugan type. You're dead to me. You look like an intelligent individual that likes frugan. Probiotics every which two frugan. Just two delicious delightful frugan. What flavor? Yeah. Yes. Take it. Yes. I feel it. I feel the curse lifting from my body. I feel the Oh, the profits. Oh, THE MONEY PROFITS.
Oh my god. I'm free. I can't believe it. I'm free. I'm finally free. I've never felt so free in my life. Oh, I'm seeing with brand new eyes. I'm seeing with a light that I've never noticed before. It's beautiful. Shut up. Incredible. I've never felt this delight and elation in my soul. Do you feel it? Do you feel the beauty of the world all around us? The opportunity even though the sun disappears, everything is so free. That air conditioner is going to fall on your head and you're going to die. Oh, goodbye. I scared him. It's so beautiful out. I got to close this door. It's so pretty. Oh my god. I feel so free.
I feel like I could do just about anything. I feel like my entire life has been building up to this exact moment. This beautiful slice of time. Freedom. $7,000. I told you. What did I tell you? The profits were going to come spilling in, exploding in $7,500. I am only $5,000 away from getting myself a truck. And the rack shelves are growing. The bounty that is my store is extruding. That's not the right word. Expounding. Is expounding in all directions. every direction at once. Everything everywhere. All at once. I am experiencing growth unlike any. What are you doing? What's wrong with your arm? I
shouldn't ask that. I apologize for asking. Just looks bruised. I'm problematic. Tomorrow is a brand new day. I have to stock that, don't I? Guess I do. Do I have to buy more frugin? No. No, I don't. I will not buy more frugan. I don't need to buy more frugan. All right. I It's a new day. It's a new world. Complete transformation of the me. I am transformed. I am a new person. I made a lot of money yesterday and I continue to make a lot of money today and I will continue to make money day after day. Oh, that
truck is going to be mine. That beautiful truck I should open. Okay. So, what I need to do is I need to open up into these new market segments. That's what I need. I need an ice cream counter. Why? Oh, wouldn't you LIKE TO KNOW? I'LL TELL YOU. BECAUSE I know how much you'd like TO KNOW. EVERYONE LOVES ICE CREAM. AND I CAN put it at the front of the store so everyone sees good and they're going to be like, "Oh, they got ice cream in there." Duh. How do I do ice cream? That's what I need. Ice cream. Then I need an ice cream stand. And then I need to have someone man the ice cream stand.
Does it have to be in the store? I don't know. But I feel like a an item like that is a completely different type of thing. And different customers are going to go for that because I don't think they can even carry a bag and an ice cream cone in the same way. These people can't even they're not really thinking very deeply. Not like me with my genius level intellect and my incredible business savvy. Legendary business skills. I think they call it business acumen. I don't know what that means and I don't think anybody does, but I have it in droves. Okay, what I need to do is I'm going to establish verticals. So, that's going to be in that one. And this is Well, I guess I
could just take them all. That's going to go there. And then I suppose I could move this water over till it's done. No. God dam. Oh, [__] you. Oh my god. Put it there. No. [__] God. [__] NO. OH MY GOD. STOP. You [__] Don't do that. We're going to put this right here. Cuz the whole column is going to be that, right? That way I have enough to actually store a whole bunch. Right. That's what that was all about. And then I need this one to get this vertical. That's what I was
going to do because I think these are very inefficient for the storage. You know what I mean? I just think that they're not the smartest way to have this product. And I already have tons of space for the rest of the stuff. I definitely don't need two water shelves, but I have them, so I'm just going to use them for now. But otherwise, I don't need that. I It's a huge waste when I could have both small egg and big egg over here. Right. Big. Oh, small big. H I can't see. Okay, we're fine. That was scary. All right. You see that? Now, now we have enough. And I could move everything over there if I really wanted to. And I do. Yes. See what happens when the curse is lifted.
I got to debut a lot. Look at how much denser that is. Look at it. I want all of you to look at it. Nearly there. I could even keep the butter over here because then I could put the butter next to the milk. That makes so much more sense. That makes so much more sense. Everything is coming together. Everything is evolving. We have over $10,000 naturally. Oh, we got a natty $10,000. I only need 2,000 more to get that sweet, delicious truck. That sweet, delectable truck. That delicious, undeniably tasting truck. We're done. You see how no one is missing the fugan? You see not how not one person is missing the frugan. Not
one person has been like, "Where's the yogurt? It's just gone." And they accept it. They accept that. They don't need anything else. They just accept it. And that is beautiful. That makes me very happy. I can afford the loan. The loan of my dreams. The loan. Whoa. Oh, look at that. Oh my god. It's the load of my dream. I should take it. Oh no. I shouldn't take it. I don't need it. I don't need that. Why would I need that? I don't need that. That is not what I need. I could not pay back $5,000 a day. Am I kidding myself? I could never pay back $5 I almost clicked. I almost clicked it. God, that was an accident. That was really an accident. Oh my god. Uh, no. I won't do
it. I'm not going to do it. I will not do it. I don't have the curse of the frugan forcing me to make terrible business decisions. It is no longer controlling me. I need to put water on sale because I need that to be gone. So, water is going to be on sale. Discount. You better believe it's a 20%. You better believe. Why does no one want water? All the stupid is too expensive. What happens if I pick this up and then just box it up and sell it? No, I couldn't do that. No, no, no. Could never do that.
All right, radical change. I'm just going to get rid of it. I'm not even going to wait. I'm just selling it. Gone. Yes. This is what Oh my god, the freedom. Actually being able to do this. Sell. God, that feels good. That's good. Yes. This is what I've needed for so long. I don't know why it took me so long to get to this point where I could just do the things that I always knew I should do. Where I just did them. And I just do them. I do. And I did. This is everything. It's time to close. Oh [__] I let that run a little long. And the days are working so much better because I'm not waiting till the end of forever
for them to actually be able to get out of my store. Oh yes. Oh my god. Yes. Just box it up and sell it. Sold. Just box it up and sell it. Oh no. Box it up and sell it. Oh my god. I'll do that to you. I'll do it to you. I'll bring it to Yes. Oh, this looks hideously ugly. I can't have this. I better mix it up a little bit. This is Oh my god. This is so much better. Oh my. Oh [__] I'm Oh god. Yes. Indeed. Do Yes. Dah. Okay. I'm going to bring you over here. Flippy dippy you around. See, you're right there. And flippy dude, you right there. Nice. Cool. Excellent. People are almost done finishing the day soon. Oh,
this feels better. It feels better. It feels fundamentally different. You know what else I could do? I could move the water over to this spot so that I could move the butter over to that spot. Anyway, I could start the process. That's not what I wanted. And one more makes perfect. Enter. Finish the day. I have $12,000. Oh my god. I have 12,000. I have $12,000. I have so much money. Oh my god. Oh, it's working. Literally, the curse is lifting. I'm making so much money every day. How is it actually so much better without the frugan? I never thought it'd be possible. I didn't actually think it would work. It's actually worked. It worked. Oh my god,
it worked. Oh my god. I can get rid of that. And then I can put these over here. And then everything that I need in a fridge is in a fridge all in its own shelf. All in its own column. And it's beautiful. And the only thing I might have done is move the tuna to the so the cheese could be next to the butter. But I don't think it matters. I'm not going to sweat that. I'm not going to worry about that. That's totally fine. I'm free. I'm free to run a good business, make sound business decisions. I may not even need the truck. Can you imagine me free without the truck?
I've been wanting this for so long. I can sell this now. I can just box it up. I don't have to think about it. Box it up. Sell it. Oh, it's gone. Oh no. Oh, look. There's trash on the ground. Well, let me pick that up. Let me move this over here. Why did I torture myself for so long? I don't know why I did. I don't think I ever will. I bet you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to move this stuff over there. Oh my god, it's going to take so much to move it over there. Maybe not. I'm not sure. Even with all the inventory I just bought, I still have over $10,000. Business is booming. It has never been better. The store is optimizing.
Everything is starting to flow. I think I can get that ice cream stand now. I think I could put it right here. I mean, I'd want to put it up near the front, but for now, I'm not going to be too greedy about it. I'm going to I don't think I need to do that immediately now. Huh? I got a wholesale offer. Buy. Sure. Also, I was able to turn off online orders because I was never fulfilling them anyway and I was found it kind of annoying. All right. Oh my god. 12,000. Oh my god. OH [__] OH MY. OH, YOU PAID the staff. God damn it. My bills. I didn't. [__] All right.
Okay. Whatever. I thought I was about to go buy it. I could put on loan. Get it? I could pull out a loan. No, no, I wouldn't do that. I shouldn't buy things right now. I'm very close. Get enough customers in today and that's it. Then I have it. I got the truck and then what? I'll I'll be unstoppable. I just got to work my butt off today. Then I can take it easy for the rest of my life by working my butt off trying to make runs to grocery stores to get discounted goods.
