FBI warns retailers to expect more credit card breaches-Source: ChicagoTribune.com

Since the Target breach incident that affected at least 70 million customers, and possibly up to 120 million, there has been more concern about the possibility of more breaches. South Korea did report, shortly after Target's incident, that a department store's credit card processing system had also been hacked into.

Now the FBI is warning that there may be more imminent attacks . Here's an excerpt from ChicagoTribune.com

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI has warned U.S. retailers to prepare for more cyber attacks after discovering about 20 hacking cases in the past year that involved the same kind of malicious software used against Target Corp in the holiday shopping season.

And now for our: Shopping Tip of the Week

When Is the Best Time To Go Grocery Shopping?- Shopping time doesn't have to be a stressful time. I can tell you that when I personally do these things, it makes my shopping experience a whole lot better.

Shop early in the Morning- Reason: The trucks have usually finished their rounds, and this is the time when you can get some of the freshest foods.
Shop on Wednesdays: (For Shoppers who are looking to save the most and get the most discounts. Save even more by bringing those coupons to the store)
Avoid Saturday Shopping: (If you hate crowds)- If you do not want a lot of store traffic clogging up your shopping day, then avoid Saturday shopping, at all cost). Saturday is the most busy day for shopping.
