CONSUMER SEARCH

     The people at CONSUMER SEARCH read numerous reviews, including those of Consumer Reports, and summarize them FOR FREE on their website.

     On this amazing website, once you’ve checked out the research on, say, refrigerators, you click on “Where to Buy” and they list the major online bargain sites and what each one charges for those particular refrigerators!

     It’s enough to make your toes tingle!

CONSUMER REPORTS

     We’re spoiled. We’re used to finding every sort of information for free on the Internet. An exception is CONSUMER REPORTS. They do expensive research to find the best products, and they naturally feel that the people who benefit from this research should pay for it. So you can go to their website, but they won’t tell you nothin’ for free. A friend who is a thorough type says that you can buy just a three-month subscription to CONSUMER REPORTS, however. He was moving to a new home, and that subscription enabled him to find the best products for it.
