Week of November 30, 2009
News Item: This past Friday, consumers who chose not to participate in Buy Nothing Day were out in full-force nabbing the best deals on electronics, toys, and other holiday merchandise. An “In the News” topic from 2007 focused on holiday shopping. This year, we offer more titles on the shopping experience, but also include resources on a few well-known corporations so that you can learn more about the stores where you shop.
