Better deals together? Absolutely. Consumer United is a savings-driven, grassroots group based in Boston's Leather District 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. The Boston Phoenix's Stuff Magazine highlighted Consumer United in its "Hot 100" list, adding that the group "helps shoppers band together to negotiate better deals on everything from utilities to health insurance."
