There are many subtle techniques which are designed to encourage spending in grocery stores. Those who are familiar with these strat- egies can save money. A recent survey conducted by Point-of-Purchase Advertising Insti- tute and DuPont Corporation found shoppers spend an average of 90 cents for every minute they browse in the supermarket aisles. It’s not surprising then to find that the layout and design of many stores are often aimed at keeping the shopper walking down the aisles. For example. most grocery stores are arranged so that the coer items, such as bread, milk, meat, are on the outer her of the store. To get to these items, a shopper must walk through the entire store. The chances of spen- ding more than what's set aside in the food budget are enhanced by tempting displays and delicacies.

The latest case, before the U.S. Tenth Circuit of Appeals, involved VA's attempt to hold two Colorado — schools liable for education benefits . overpayments. The law makes an educational in- stitution liable if the VA determines the overpayments were the cause of the school’s failure to report exces- sive absences or dropping of courses by GI Bill students, or false certifi- cation by the sch governing the school liability to be unconstitutional, and this ruling was affirmed on appeal.
