    From Our President: CR Is Saving You Money

    With all the talk of tariffs, rising prices, and volatile markets, recent months have brought a great deal of economic uncertainty. But we can’t put our lives on hold while we wait for things to turn around. The bills keep coming. Necessary expenses keep piling up.

    Want to lower your monthly bills? CR can help. Go to CR.org/billnegotiator and enter some basic account information about your internet, cable, home security, and other services. Then our partners at Billshark will contact the providers to negotiate for you. CR members get an exclusive discount for the service, and you don’t pay anything unless it saves you money.

    And rest assured, CR’s advocacy team is always speaking up for the policies that put money back in your pocket. For example, we’re defending federal energy-efficiency and clean-energy tax credits, which some policymakers are currently trying to eliminate. These incentives have saved American families more than $8 billion in taxes in recent years—and that doesn’t include the additional savings they’ll get by living in more sustainable and energy-efficient homes for years to come.

    Whatever economic hurdles lie ahead, we’ll be here for you. Life doesn’t stop during times of change—and neither does CR.
