  What it means to investors
  If the A-10's backers in Congress are successful in saving the A-10, that would be good news for Northrop Grumman (NYSE: NOC  ) , which has served as prime contractor for A-10 upgrading and maintenance work since 1987. (Israel's Elbit Systems (NASDAQ: ESLT  ) actually owns the remains of Fairchild Republic, which built the A-10. But Northrop bought Fairchild's A-10 business.)

  #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-114909{display:none}.cke_show_borders #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-114909,#postcontentcontainer #fivemin-widget-blogsmith-image-114909{width:570px;display:block} Shopping at warehouse clubs, such as Costco (COST), Sam's Club (WMT) and BJ's Wholesale Club, is a great way to save money. They have good per-uni! t prices on nearly everything they sell. However, consumers often make the mistake of assuming they're getting the best price at a warehouse club or of buying things they don't need just because the price is good. In general, it's best to avoid bulk purchases of perishable items at warehouse clubs, no matter how good the price, if there aren't enough people in your household to consume them quickly. Plus, you should always shop with a list to avoid impulse purchases, which can be whoppers at warehouse clubs.
