The sale occurred in connection with DoorDash’s participation in a marketing cooperative, where businesses contribute the personal information of their customers in exchange for the opportunity to advertise their products to each other’s customers.

Many of us are looking for ways to trim our grocery bills, and for good reason: Americans spent about $5,700 a year on food at home in 2022, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. While earning more rewards on grocery purchases can help, the Meijer credit card unfortunately falls short, even for loyalists of the Michigan-based retailer.

For better options, check out our list of best credit cards for groceries,…

Uber teamed up with Cartken, a robotics company, and Mitsubishi Electric, a major Japanese industrial operation, to create a line of small robots geared toward sidewalks…
