Better deals together? Absolutely. Consumer United is a savings-driven, grassroots group based in Boston's <a href="http://boston.povo.com/Leather_District">Leather District</a> that’s spearheading a network of ordinary consumers, folks like you, who have joined together to identify the best service providers, negotiate better deals and simplify their lives. As a movement, their goal is to leverage competitors to lower prices on auto insurance, phone, Internet, cable, personal banking and utilities. Yes, there’s power in numbers.
