Megan Garcia+FollowCostco’s $7 Sandwich Sparks Food Court DramaCostco fans are buzzing after the warehouse giant brought back its hot turkey and provolone sandwich—but nearly doubled the price to $6.99. Shoppers are grumbling online, comparing it to the famously cheap $1.50 hot dog combo (which, don’t worry, isn’t going anywhere). The takeaway? Even at budget-friendly spots, menu favorites can get pricey, so keep an eye on your snack budget and don’t assume old deals stick around forever! #Costco #FoodCourt #MoneyHacks #RetailNews #BudgetEats #Shopping2444Share

rprice+FollowRetail & Tech Jobs Take a Big HitDid you see the latest job cut numbers? Over 105,000 U.S. jobs were slashed in April—retail and tech are getting hit especially hard. Retailers alone cut 7,200+ jobs last month, and tech isn’t far behind. That’s a massive jump from last year, and it’s the worst April since 2020 (yikes). Companies are blaming the economy and new tech, and it sounds like hiring is on pause while everyone waits to see what happens next. Anyone else feeling the uncertainty? #JobCuts #RetailNews #TechLayoffs #WorkplaceTrends #EconUpdate #JobCareer31Share
Megan Garcia+FollowTarget’s Self-Checkout Shakeup: Yay or Nay?Heads up, Target fans! The next time you swing by for a quick haul, you might notice self-checkout is now only for 10 items or less—or gone altogether at some stores. Why? Target’s trying to cut down on shoplifting and checkout mistakes that cost them big bucks last year. Some shoppers are annoyed, saying it slows them down, while others might just take their carts to Walmart instead. Would you miss speedy self-checkout, or do you prefer a cashier anyway? #Target #RetailNews #ShoppingHacks #SelfCheckout #MoneyMatters #Shopping01Share
