Please Help Support Consumer World
For 23 years, Consumer World has served readers with the latest consumer news, money-saving tips, and independent investigations. But we no longer receive financial support from a corporate sponsor. So reluctantly, MrConsumer turns to you and humbly asks for your help to keep this site and Mouse Print* available as free consumer resources.
What You Pay for Groceries Varies By Where You Live
When visiting a new city, MrConsumer always loves to visit local supermarkets to see what people pay there for key items. The variance can be shocking. For example, a dozen eggs in Manchester, NH averages $1.30. But, go to San Diego, and you'll have to fork over $2.42. See how basic grocery prices vary across the country.

Mouse Print* -- Slick Olive Oil Label Designed to Deceive
A friend of MrConsumer always says when he sees some type of blatant deception, he tries to imagine that company's executives sitting around a table consciously deciding how to screw customers. This is just such a case here, it appears.
That story is in Mouse Print* this week.

Bargain of the Week
6th Generation 9.7" iPad -- $120
This may be the greatest deal on a new Apple iPad EVER. First the bad news. This is only for Comcast customers with certain triple play packages (Internet, cable TV, and phone [or home security]). If you qualify and the offer is available in your Comcast area, you pay just $5 a month (plus sales tax) for 24 months. They will immediately send you a space gray 9.7-inch iPad with a whopping 128-gb of storage. This unit normally sells for $429 but is $349 on Black Friday. You pay just $120 with this offer (and can pay off the balance anytime if you don't want to carry out payments). No Comcast? Find a friend with it!See also: Hot Deals
