Amanda Carroll+FollowWhy Your Grocery Bill Just JumpedNoticed your grocery bill creeping up again? Shop prices are back in inflation mode for the first time in almost a year, with food costs rising faster than before. Meat, fruit, and veggies are pricier thanks to weather messing with harvests and higher worker pay. The good news? Non-food stuff like DIY tools and garden gear is still cheaper than last year. So, if you’re looking to save, maybe it’s time to fix up the house instead of splurging on steak night! #MoneyHacks #Inflation #GroceryShopping #Business #LocalBusiness40Share
Kim Brown+FollowTarget Tries Amazon-Style Shipping—Will It Work?Heard the buzz? Target is testing a new way to get your stuff to you faster and cheaper—by shipping straight from the factory, like Amazon, Shein, or Temu. This could mean more deals on clothes and home goods, but it’s a gamble: Will skipping the warehouse really save us money, or just shake up Target’s usual vibe? With sales down and prices up, Target’s hoping this move gets shoppers excited again. Would you try it, or stick to your usual Target run? #TargetNews #OnlineShopping #RetailTrends #Business #LocalBusiness10Share
Kim Brown+FollowWhy Aldi Managers Love the Shop FloorEver wondered why Aldi store managers seem so upbeat? Turns out, they’re not just bosses—they’re hands-on team players who actually know everyone’s name. Unlike other supermarkets where managers hide in offices, Aldi’s crew leads from the shop floor, making the workday feel more like a team sport than a corporate grind. The big shift? Managers here do it all—stock checks, chats with customers, and even helping out on the tills. It’s people-first, and that’s why the vibe feels more like family than just another job. #RetailLife #AldiCareers #WorkCulture #Business #LocalBusiness90Share

christinewhite+FollowWalmart’s Big Move: Fulfillment ShuffleHeads up, online shoppers! Walmart is shutting down its Fort Worth fulfillment center and moving orders to newer, high-tech spots nearby. If you’re a Sam’s Club fan, your orders might ship from a different place soon.

Faster deliveries for us, but big changes for warehouse jobs. #WalmartNews #Ecommerce #JobShift #Business #LocalBusiness00Share
