It is common knowledge that college students can afford to save money on groceries. Thanks to two UC Davis graduates, people around the nation now can. Ajaxo.com, launched in September 2009, is a search engine that allows people to search, compare and discover groceries and consumer retail products on sale at stores around the nation. Brothers Ka-Fung Koo and Ka-Tye Koo, developers of the site, gained insight while still in college.

A small circle of strangers sat cross-legged on red cushions, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. The smell of incense lingered in the silent, peaceful air.

It's noon at the Bargain Barn and a group of employees gather in the break room as Noor Ramy receives her plaque for Student Employee of the Year. Standing next to her co-workers and friends, Ramy, a senior English major, smiles and holds back tears as her supervisor, Katie Jaramillo, takes the floor. "We've never had a student employee like Noor … I just wish you could stay forever," Jaramillo said.

Bikers and fast drivers dislike them, neighborhoods and parents of small children love them. Speed bumps can be found throughout the city and campus of Davis in order to slow down students and residents to a safe speed.

Editor's Note: The California Aggie sent reporter Vanna Le to take the Nugget Market Price Survey, which compares Nugget and competitors' prices in Davis. Because grocery store prices vary by store and produce prices change rapidly, it's always difficult to determine which grocery stores actually do maintain low prices. I recently visited the Nugget Market on East Covell Boulevard after hearing about the "Nugget Market Price Survey," hoping to gain some insight into the world of competitive grocery store pricing.
