Consumer Education

Feature Writer: L. Marie Dubuque
Whether you’re trying to negotiate a better deal, or simply want to learn how to price match or stockpile groceries, we’ve got information on steals, deals, bargains and just about everything consumer-related. We’ll help you navigate the physical as well as the virtual shopping world.
You’ll find out about consumer product recalls, learn how to avoid scams, reduce shipping charges and take advantage of big discounts. Knowledge is key to becoming an educated consumer. Here, you’ll pick up pointers on how to avoid impulse spending, read food labels, pack a nutritious lunch for under $1, get free product samples, and where to trade coupons online.
I scour the internet everyday for the very best deals and tell you about them on myblog.
