Why Your Shopping Cart Feels Lighter

Noticed fewer splurges lately? U.S. retail sales just had their biggest drop in four months, mostly because folks rushed to buy cars before tariffs hit, then hit the brakes. While online shopping and furniture stores are still buzzing, restaurants and gas stations saw fewer dollars. If you’re eyeing big purchases, keep an eye on prices—tariffs and global drama could make things pricier soon. Saving a little extra might be your best move for now! #MoneyHacks #RetailTrends #SmartSpending #Business #LocalBusiness
