MrConsumer had his oil changed last week, and only after he got home did he realize that Midas pulled a fast one. See how they try to make junk fees and unexpected spam part of the deal.

American Express is encouraging you to "shop small" months earlier than usual, and they will reward AMEX cardholders handsomely. Spend $10 or more (after taxes) at qualified small businesses(see map) or search this list, and get a statement credit for $5. You can do this up to 10 times! You must register your American Express card by July 26, and finish all your shopping by September 20th. Be sure to check the fine print.

Other lists indicate effectiveness of filtration of various brands. Here, in a separate story, is a user's guide to masks from NPR.
