Pay less at the grocery store with one simple trick.

~ SA Otey

It’s subtle, but stores that offer smaller carts usually have higher prices. Warehouse stores that offer large carts serve a purpose for bulk loading. When you enter a store and see that the little cart is the only option then walk away.

Smaller carts are easier to push but you can’t put as much in them, so the store will jack up their prices so that you can’t carry too many of their items to your home. I’ve noticed these carts at Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter, and now PetSmart.

Why not have all your groceries delivered?

Trusting your personal info to strangers

~ SA Otey

Since Equifax has all of your data and they seem to consistently let it fall into the wrong hands, it’s the same as giving your personal information to complete strangers. How did we ever do business before? You had to dress up in your Sunday best and go in front of the lender and they had to interview you. You had to prove you had a job and show that you could pay the money back. You probably could fool them and never pay it back and they would kick you out of your house or horse-drawn carriage because you are a deadbeat.

Buy-2

I don’t know if any of that is true but it sounds like that’s the way it should be.
