He didn't save ANY money! Remember, these people all died! Now, it doesn't say if they burned to death, or were overheated, or they died of smoke inhalation (the latter being the usual means of death), but I'm certain that all the products anyone might have carried out of the store were destroyed anyway.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
