August 12, 2007Matching Wal-mart Pricing on Generic Drugs
August 12, 2007Wal-mart earlier this year came out with a special deal on generic prescription drugs.

Payday Loans Should Be Illegal
August 11, 2007Payday loans are predatory loans that are legal in all states. A paycheck is the basis of getting the loan.

Credit card companies can charge [...]

With all the computer sophistication and systems, customers often are overcharged for various items especially sale items. I think if you closely check the prices you pay, you might find a few hundred dollars per year in overcharges. [...]

They tell you how expensive the phone is (when not subsidized b the carrier) and offer the insurance. The cost is usually $4.00-$5.00 per month. What the cell phone company won’t tell you is [...]

August 7, 2007Ticketmaster Fees are Outrageous!
August 7, 2007I think Ticketmaster service fees are outrageous. Many years ago you had to call Ticketmaster in order to buy tickets.
