Dear Readers:

DO WOMEN PAY MORE

THAN MEN for haircuts, personal grooming, dry cleaning and apparel, among other things?

A 2015 study by the New York Department of Consumer Affairs concluded that women can pay an average of 7% more than men for virtually the same items and services!

Readers, have you seen price difference­s along gender lines? — Heloise Dear Heloise:

My sister’s husband mentioned having used hearing aids that are reprogramm­ed. How can we locate places to sell used hearing aids and places to buy refurbishe­d ones at a fraction of the cost of new ones?

— Katherine in San Antonio A quick internet search reveals lots of good sources. If a computer is not nearby, call 211, a clearingho­use for social services in your neighborho­od.
