Tis the season!

The 2021 Sea. Hear. Now festival in Asbury Park is just days away! On Saturday, September 18th and Sunday the 19th, some of the biggest names in music will rock thousands of spectators on the beach.

We pay A LOT of money on food here in Jersey. It turns out we not only pay more in taxes than most, our grocery bills are higher too. Add into the equation that we still have a stressed supply chain due to COVID 19, and it's not pretty. I think we could use some money-saving life hacks...food edition!

It's 2021 and we're finally seeing something that actually looks like it came out of The Jetsons cartoon. Check out this futuristic vending machine that's popped up here in New Jersey.
