The cover of tomorrow’s 11/16 RedPlum has a kind of coupon I’ve never seen before: It states that it is a “donation coupon.” If you buy any of the Unilever products shown on the coupon and hand the coupon to your cashier, Unilever will donate one meal to Feeding America. What a neat & easy […]
An absurd afternoon of shopping
I had two strange experiences while shopping today. First, I headed to Meijer to score some bargain-priced .05 Campbell’s soup and other deals.

I […]

Use less electricity, and your electricity rates may go up
If a large number of customers change their purchasing habits and purchase less of a product, do companies then raise their prices? Recently, I received yet another “energy shaming letter” from Commonwealth Edison. If you’re a ComEd customer in Illinois, you may have received a similar letter. This letter appears to be an attempt to […]
