In the largest investment from a research partner in University of Wisconsin history, Foxconn is pledging to give up to $100 million for engineering and innovation research. We discuss the goals for the new partnership and how that money may be used. Then, we learn more about a bill passed in New York that would allow a panel to serve as a “watchdog” for possible misconduct among prosecutors. In addition, many grocery stores have rolled out options like apps for additional coupons, online ordering and even home delivery. We hear from you about how you grocery shop and we talk with a professor about how consumers make grocery decisions.

How Do You Grocery Shop?
It’s a chaotic time for grocery shopping with so many options. Each store seems to have their own coupon system, their own delivery system, an online ordering option and perhaps even a full bar inside the store. How do you make your grocery decisions at this point? Are you loyal to a locally-owned store, the cheapest prices or the shortest distance? We talk to a professor about how consumers make decisions in this saturated grocery market.
