Week of March 16, 2026
(see last week)
You've probably seen the TV ads for Homeaglow -- the service that claims they will clean your whole house for just $19. Contrary to their claims of high customer satisfaction, real customers complain bitterly.
That story is in Mouse Print* this week.
A lot of people like to have their newish cars serviced at a local dealer, whether it be for a repair or regular maintenance. While service can vary from one dealership to the next of the same brand, overall according to J.D. Power, customer satisfaction is highest at Mini dealerships, followed closely by Subaru. Chrysler and Ram are at the bottom of the list. There are separate ratings for luxury cars, SUVs, and trucks.
Consumer reporter Jeff Rossen takes us on a tour of T.J. Maxx showing you how to decode their price tags and sharing pricing tricks he learned from their employees. (We featured a similar video about decoding Marshalls' price tags a while ago.)
As we get older, many of us have a harder time falling asleep and staying asleep, MrConsumer included. Here are novel tips beyond the usual advice of having your room dark and cool, don't eat or drink right before bed, etc.
