We wrap up the year of ever-shrinking products with close to a dozen groceries that give you less than you're used to. Shrinkflation is alive and well even as inflation subsides a little.
That story is in Mouse Print* this week. [This story will remain here through Jan. 5th.]
Websites keep asking you to change passwords, and trying to remember them all is a pain in the you-know-where. Perhaps installing a password manager will make entering them easier. PC World evaluated a number of free password managers, so see if one might be helpful to you. If you have more than one device, try to find one that works across all of them for free.

Consumer World just released its 21st annual return policy survey of major retail chains. Some of them have started their special holiday return period later than usual, and some have shortened their return policy. Kohl's for example cut their generous 180-day return period in half for non-Kohl's card customers. [This feature will appear here through Jan. 5th.]
The stain experts from Consumer Reports offer tips on how best to get out those holiday stains from tablecloths, carpet, and other places they turn up. Pretreating the stain often works best with a realy good conventional detergent. In other cases, surprisingly, sunlight and hydrogen peroxide work best.
