## Resource

New Jersey is cracking down on “surveillance pricing” — a sneaky practice where grocery algorithms charge different prices for the same item based on your shopping history.

Shoppers are thrilled — finally, fairness at the checkout. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
