Is Watching Supergirl (TV Show) Worth It?

First, let me start by saying that no one in my inner circle has agreed that the show is a must see.

Save $$$ While Spending $$$: Predictive Behavior Algorithms, FTW

When I go out to purchase an item, nine out of ten times my decision is based on the type of coupons I have for the store, the average cost of the item on sale, and the establishment’s return policy. However, I must confess these stores send me promos that I receive via snail mail […]
