Today, long prison sentences are common in America. However, in the early United States, punishments for crimes usually were swift, and often violent. The most serious crimes were punished by hanging. Some states gave the death penalty for a dozen or more offenses, including rape and homosexuality. Other felonies were punished with flogging or mutilation. As late as 1805 in Massachusetts, counterfeiters, arsonists, wife beaters, and thieves were whipped, had their ears cropped, or had their cheeks branded with a hot iron. Petty offenses-such as being drunk or disturbing the peace-were punished with a fine or a public dunking.

The most expensive items in a grocery store usually are placed at eye level, making them the most noticeable items; the cheapest items sit on the top or bottom shelves. So be sure to scan top and bottom shelves for the best bargains. This is just one of several tips that will save you money at the grocery store. Here’s another: comparison shop on the items that you buy most often; then shop at the store with the lowest prices on most of those items. Another way to save money is to buy items in bulk at “club” stores, but only if you’ll use everything that you purchase. Also, be wary of coupon offers on name-brand items. A premium price reduced by thirty or forty cents may still be higher than the store-brand price. Nearly always, it’s cheaper to buy a store’s own brand of the item that you want.
