I’m Eric Dawson, and The Money Watch is where I write up the small questions that cost people money when they guess wrong: what a parking app really charges, whether a software subscription is worth renewing, how much sugar sits in a bar of licorice. For prices, rules and fees I start with the maker’s, agency’s or venue’s own page, note the date I read each figure, and say so when sources disagree. Where I have been through it myself, I tell you what happened, including what went wrong. This site is for ordinary readers who want a straight answer before they spend, sign up or park. Browse by topic: Boats & Cruises, Business, Candles, Candy & Chocolate, Computers & Software, Fitness & Workouts, Jewelry & Gemstones, Milk & Dairy, Organic Food, Parking, Sports. More about me is on the About Eric page.
