RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- NBC12 is on your side, helping you score the best deals on groceries. Last week, it was peaches. This week - green beans.

I bought six different brands of green beans. Del Monte and Green Giant are name brand. The generics come from Kroger, Martins, Food Lion and Walmart.

According to the labels, each of these cans is identical in serving size and servings per can. Same ingredients too - green beans, water and salt. Martin's and Food Lion were the cheapest - both cost $0.67. Del Monte is almost 50 % more expensive at $0.98.

I carefully pour the liquid out of each can. Every brand fills a cup with the canning liquid. These may look the same, but they're not. The difference is the weight of the fluid.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- Many of us text more than talk on our cell phone - and scammers are texting too. A weird text is showing up on some mobile phones in our area.

I got two phishing-type messages on my personal cell and decided to do a scam check with the Better Business Bureau.

Regardless of how tempted you are to text back or call the number in the message, the BBB says don't take the risk.

The weird texts come from random numbers @vtext.com. One came from NewgenerationsFCU and another showed up on my phone from VACAP-FCU... each with a number to call.

One number rings busy, the other has a detailed message instructing the caller.

"Thanks for calling the health enrollment group customer service department. Hold for the next available agent."

We held on until someone picked up. He explained the text may have been triggered by an online search and that people are always misdialing and getting the wrong number.

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT)- Welcome to Virginia. The vanity plate capital of the US. One in every six Virginian's has vanity tags on their cars. That's more than a million Virginian's who pay an extra $10 a year to speak their minds on their bumpers.

But- not every message is welcome. Army veteran Sean Bujno had a license plate on his car for years before the Department of Motor Vehicles asked for it back.

It reads: "ICU HAJI".

The dictionary defines 'Haji' as one who has made a pilgrimage to Mecca, but it's also a derogatory word for Arabs.

"Some people say this is just a license plate, but it actually is about the first amendment. This is about a fundamental right," said Andrew Meyer. He's a Richmond-based attorney, one of two men representing Bujno.

Rachel: "Did he mean it as a racial slur as some people are saying?"
