This Citibank Balance Transfer Offer Sure Sounds Dangerous
This is not just for loans. I got a notice a few weeks ago that my Citicard interest rate is going to 29.99% and my only option is to cancel my account. So I got a different credit card with a better rate. Bye bye Citibank!
Royal Caribbean Sees No Problem With Twin Beds For Anniversary Trip
@H3ion: Some couples like to sleep together. Like, snooze. All night long. In each other's arms. It's nice.
Comcast Installs Cable In Your Gutter, Across Your Driveway
I had cable installed in my new house in August (not Comcast). I waited 13 hours and finally lost my temper (an understatement) and they installed it in the dark at 9PM. Six months and a dozen requests later, they buried the cable January 5th.
Lucerne Yogurt Fails To Escape The Clutches Of The Grocery Shrink Ray
This has been going on for decades, but now it's happening to so many products so fast that it's very obvious. My mother gave me the family recipe book she's used since the 60s.

Walmart Sponge Pricing Scheme Rewards Those Who Pay Attention
This happened to me twice this week. After buying toilet paper in packs of 24 rolls for years, I found a brand that is not available in anything but a four-pack, but the price per roll is much less for about the same quality. Easier to store, also.

Group Pledges To Buy No Clothing For A Year, Somehow Survive
