No, I haven’t forgotten about Retail Bandit, I’ve just been spending too much time on updating a few of my other websites. I’ll try to be better.
I do have some good news for those with an interest in the whole GMO issue.
The new Weston A. Price Chapter on the San Juan Ridge will hold its first [...]

Have you ever wondered if the products in those to-good-to-be-true ads are for real? After all, some of their claims are rather pie-in-the-sky like. I decided to try a few products that I’ve seen advertised recently.
At my local Rite-Aid I picked up a bottle of “Heel Tastic.” My heels are always cracked and bleeding. I’ve tried [...]

You know I simply love the crisp fall weather; it’s all that is entailed in preparation for winter that I detest.
Fall means it’s time to put away our summer clothes and pull our warm winter woolies out of storage. It’s like reconnecting with old friends. I found clothing I had forgotten I owned. We’ll save that [...]

I’m in the process of changing all my appliances over to stainless steel, in hopes they will be easier to keep looking nice. At least that’s the theory.
My microwave looks like it’s survived a war, but it works like a champ. When we first got it, we overcooked everything. We called it “the microwave from [...]

Never wait until after a holiday to shop at Walmart.
I live near both a Walmart Supercenter and a Meijer Store in Grand Rapids, MI. I almost always shop at Meijer as they are doing a bang-up job of competing with Walmart, but there are just a few things that I have found at Walmart that [...]

My husband and I were shopping at Wal-Mart for a short period of time.  We found that the isles are so narrow that 2 shopping carts can barely fit through an isle. 
People are so into your personal space that we actually made a joke that if we are somewhere else and someone gets in our [...]

Anyone my age (let’s just call us, the over 40 crowd) surely remembers Archway Cookies. I practically grew up eating them.
You can imagine my surprise when I recently began seeing them in stores again. My husband has been faithfully checking every store in our area for my favorite — Chocolate Chip Ice Box Cookies — [...]

I have decided the Wal-mart is just not the store the founder created. I have read some of the complaints and I agree. If Sam were still alive this would not happen. But since he is gone a new Wal-mart has been born.
One complaint that I did not see was the door greeter. It started [...]

With four children 9 and under, I feel that the best deals for groceries and non-food items are at Wal-Mart, not to mention one stop shopping with limited time.

I have tried to not go there and shop at Publix or Kroger but the grocery bill by itself is outrageous. Unfortunately, I have really had some [...]

I live in Texas. Many times the price listed on the shelf for an item is not the price at check out.
In Texas we have a Deceptive Trade Practice law that protects consumers. The advertised price IS what the store must charge otherwise they are subject to being sued for three times the amount of [...]

Goodness gracious,
Glad to read your Off The Shelf and glad to share a concern about one retailer, Abercrombie and Fitch. I personally find this store so ridiculous that I can hardly stand up for people who shop there.
However, most of the customers are unsuspecting young people, who want so badly to look like a clone [...]

Does the scanner law go far enough?
I am diligent about checking my receipts and I have to tell you, it’s the rare occasion that I shop at a major grocery or department store and not find a mistake on my receipt.
To be honest, sometimes the mistakes are in my favor, but not nearly often enough.
Consumers [...]

I just have a question…
What is the period of timea store, such as J.C. Penney, is required to credit a sale price if I purchased an item several days before it went on sale and was not informed of the upcoming sale?
Shouldn’t the store credit me the difference in the purchase price and the
sale price?
Thank [...]

I hope this is for Meijer headquarters; I just spent $1,200.00 on turkeys for my company (on November 20, 2008).
 
When I went to pick them up they used a cart with boxes of turkeys and pushed it outside and went back in and closed the door, which locks automatically.
The boxes weighed 60 pounds each and [...]
