25. Barbecues, Soap, Batteries and Parking Tickets

Nothing smells like summer quite like the aromas emanating from a backyard barbecue.  Anna and Kristina get grilling to measure the merits of gas, charcoal and portable barbecues.  Some soaps can make you feel squeaky-clean while others leave an unpleasant film.  The Shopping Bags enlist the help of their smelliest friend to find out if you really need to spend more on soap.  From cell phones, to cars, to toys to computers, batteries play an increasingly important role in today’s world.  But how much do you need to spend to get long-lasting results? We put five alkaline batteries to the test.  And our mystery shopper goes undercover to FIND OUT IF YOU REALLY NEED TO PAY THOSE PESKY PARKING TICKETS.
