Snow; to be removed
You’re out for a great meal at your local hamburger joint, and the cook offers up the plate with the aside that the meat is not quite cooked, due to a need to save on fuel costs. You’ve been shopping for an umbrella, and the clerk brings to your attention that one of the panels is not covered, because of the need to save on materials. You’ve just purchased a “bus book” but the publisher has included an insert that says three chapters are missing, to save on printing and paper costs.
