Kroger is shutting down about 60 stores over the next year and a half, but don’t panic—most locations are staying put.

If your go-to Kroger is on the list, employees can transfer to nearby stores, so jobs aren’t just vanishing. Keep an eye out for updates—your weekly shopping trip might just get a new address! #KrogerNews #GroceryHacks #MoneyLife #Business #LocalBusiness3626Share
john72+FollowWould You Pay to Skip Costco Crowds?Ever wish you could shop at Costco without dodging carts and crowds? Now you can—if you’re willing to pay extra. Starting June 30, Costco’s $130 Executive Members get to shop up to an hour before everyone else. That means more peaceful aisles and first dibs on those famous rotisserie chickens. It’s a classic case of paying for convenience, but if you value your weekend mornings, it might be worth the upgrade! #CostcoHacks #MoneyLife #ShoppingTips #Business #LocalBusiness10Share
Diane Carter+FollowWhere Retirees Barely Pay Property TaxesThinking about where to stretch your retirement dollars? In 13 states, seniors are scoring big on property tax breaks—some pay almost nothing! Places like Alabama, Kansas, and Oklahoma freeze or slash property taxes for older homeowners, so you can keep more cash for travel or grandkid spoiling. The best part? These states also have lower living costs, so your savings go even further. If you’re dreaming of a comfy, budget-friendly retirement, these spots might be your ticket! #RetirementHacks #MoneyLife #SeniorLiving #Finance81Share
Kim Brown+FollowPharmacy Closures: What’s Your Backup Plan?Heads up: hundreds of pharmacies are closing, and that could mean longer lines and more hassle to get your meds—especially if you live outside a big city. If your go-to spot is shutting down, ask your pharmacist where your prescriptions are headed, and consider a 90-day supply or mail-order option. Don’t wait until you’re out of pills to refill! Online pharmacies are handy, but they can’t do everything your local spot does, like quick vaccines or health advice. Stay proactive and keep your health on track! #PharmacyClosures #HealthHacks #MoneyLife #Shopping10Share

Bottom line: Faster checkouts might be coming soon, making those bulk hauls a breeze! #CostcoHacks #MoneyLife #RetailTrends #Business10Share

One Sam’s Club shopper did just that after three failed attempts to pay, sparking a debate online. The store’s new tech—scanners that snap pics of your cart—aims to speed things up, but not everyone’s a fan. Some love the quick Scan & Go, while others say it’s more hassle than help.
