Consumer World Original
Over the past two years Consumer World has been investigating a blurring of the line between bona fide program content on network TV talk and information shows and advertising. More and more it seems what looks like a conventional interview is really an advertisement in disguise paid for by the subject of the interview. We look specifically at a segment of the CBS show The Talk where an educational segment turns into a veiled sales pitch.
That is our Mouse Print* story this week.
Thinking about end-of-life issues can be difficult for many people. But, while you're healthy, it is good to look ahead to help ensure that your future care, desires, and plans for your estate are put in place. Here are some of the common estate planning mistakes that people make.
Please Help Support Consumer World
For 24 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. Your gift will be most appreciated.

With all the spending most people do in December, isn't it nice to find some things you can get for free? Many of these are ongoing offers by companies. For example, if you haven't had your flu shot yet, Target is the place to go. They will give you a $5 coupon good for almost anything at their store for 30 days. MrConsumer recently snared two one-pound packages of pork cubes and two half gallons of apple cider with his coupon and still had money left over!
About a third of consumers interviewed by Consumer Reports say their prescription costs have gone up this year. In this major report, C/R explains why this is happening, how patients are dealing with those rising costs, how consumers are being squeezed by high deductible plans, and how you can try to lower your prescription drug costs.
