Interesting facts:

• “Food & Water Watch…says that US tap water is usually safer to drink than bottled water, since it is tested more rigorously.”
• “…the little independent research on duct cleaning indicates that the work won’t improve dust levels in your home.”
• “One company, Italy’s EssilorLuxottica, owns or controls the manufacture and retailing of many well-known eyeglass names and stores, including the optical department at Target.

​The Spring/Summer 2025 issue of Twin Cities Consumers’ Checkbook has arrived in our Library, and I have quoted above from the feature article, “65 Things You (Probably) Shouldn’t Pay For.”

​Look to this issue for best veterinarians, electricians, computer stores, housecleaning companies, and much more—all locally reviewed by Twin Cities customers. Ratings are prefaced by in-depth discussions of the topic, for example, how to “wipe your data before getting rid of” an old computer.

Look for Twin Cities Consumers’ Checkbook​ issues in the black binder below the Library clock.
