August 5, 2011— Recently on "You and Me This Morning," WCIU-TV's morning show, Melissa Foreman announced that her co-host, Jeanne Sparrow, wanted everyone to know how CUB had helped her.

"She can hardly wait to tell her story and how much money she saved," Foreman said, opening the show's "Saving U Money" segment, which featured CUB Outreach Director Sarah Moskowitz.

The segment was supposed to be about tips for cell-phone customers, based on a recent CUB analysis that showed smart phone users could be wasting up to $278 a year on bad wireless data plans. But Sparrow first wanted to tell her story, "just to show you that their tips really do work."

The last time CUB was on the show Sparrow said Executive Director David Kolata showed her how to cut her home phone bill by about $800 a year.

"I'm a believer!" Sparrow said.
