Mouse Print* -- Hey Breyers, Where Are the Vanilla Beans?
One of the things that Breyers vanilla ice cream is known for is having those black flecks of vanilla beans in every scoop. Recently, MrConsumer bought a carton of their lactose free vanilla. Guess what was missing despite still being depicted on the carton?
That is our Mouse Print* story this week.
Which Car Insurance Companies Are Tops?
J.D. Power just released its 2021 U.S. Auto Insurance Study that examines customer satisfaction in five areas: billing process and policy information; claims; interaction; policy offerings; and price. The study surveyed nearly 40,000 auto insurance customers. Car insurers and their rankings vary around the country, so look for the chart for your region.

Get 3% Cash Back on ALL Purchases with This Visa Signature Card
MrConsumer is pleased to share with you his primary credit card: It is from USAlliance federal credit union and for the next year, it pays 3% cash back on all purchases (not just at supermarkets and gas stations). We are not aware of any other card with this generous an across-the-board rebate. And even better, it has virtually all the traditional credit card benefits like extended warranty [not shown on linked list, but does come with the card), price protection, return protection, travel insurance, cellphone coverage and more. It no longer has CDW for rental cars, however.
You must collect 2,500 points (3 points for every dollar spent) before you can cash in your points for a $25 statement credit toward your balance. If approved for the card, you will have to open a free no minimum balance savings or checking account at the credit union.
After June 30, 2022, the card reverts to being a 2% cash back card on all purchases -- still a great deal because unlike many large card issuers, it will retain most benefits.
