You may have noticed that the Comments section for Smart Shopper posts is working differently today than it has in the past.

As of this week, the Comments section now requires readers to log in using Facebook in order to make a comment. This is the method required by all other pages on WRAL and unfortunately, there is nothing I can do about it.

Even if you don't want a public Facebook account, you can always make one just for posting comments on the Smart Shopper page.

My apologies for any issues this may cause. Thank you for reading the Smart Shopper column!
