Nicole Washington+FollowWalmart Closures: Is Your Store Safe?Heads up, Walmart fans! While the retail giant is opening 159 new stores, it's also shutting down some locations in states like Georgia, Ohio, and California. The reason? They're focusing on spots where more people actually shop in person. Good news for Washington shoppers—no closures there (for now). It’s a reminder that where we spend our money really does shape which stores stick around. Anyone else shopping more online since the pandemic? #Walmart #RetailTrends #MoneyLifehacks #ShoppingHabits #Shopping18670Share

Kim Brown+FollowWhy Kirkland TVs Aren’t a Thing YetEver noticed you can buy Kirkland-branded bacon, socks, and even wine at Costco, but not a Kirkland TV or laptop? Turns out, Costco’s CEO says they just can’t crack the electronics game—yet. While Walmart and Target have their own budget gadgets, Costco’s still searching for a way to bring you Kirkland tech that’s actually worth your money. For now, you’ll have to stick to their giant packs of batteries and dream of a future Kirkland flat screen. #CostcoFinds #KirklandSignature #RetailTrends #MoneyHacks #Shopping110Share
Kim Brown+FollowAre You Gaming Return Policies Too?Ever bought a dress, wore it once, and sent it back? You’re not alone—almost half of shoppers admit to bending return rules, and most say retailers make it way too easy. Some folks even open extra accounts just to snag more deals or buy extra stuff just for free shipping, planning to return the extras. But here’s the catch: if stores crack down, they risk losing loyal shoppers. So, enjoy those perks, but don’t be surprised if your favorite shop gets stricter soon! #ShoppingHacks #RetailTrends #MoneyTalks #OnlineShopping #ReturnsPolicy #Shopping41Share

Marisa Pope+FollowWhy Walmart & Costco Win When Budgets ShrinkNext time you’re hunting for deals, remember: Jim Cramer is only cheering for Walmart and Costco these days. Why? When money gets tight, more folks flock to these giants for bulk buys and low prices. Costco’s membership fee is like a secret money machine, and Walmart’s grocery aisles are a lifesaver for families watching their wallets. If a recession hits, expect even more people to swap fancy stores for these budget-friendly options. #MoneyHacks #RetailTrends #Costco #Walmart #SmartShopping #Business70Share
Susan Moreno+FollowCarter’s Sales Beat, But Is It a Comeback?Carter’s, the go-to for kids’ clothes, just surprised Wall Street by selling more than expected last quarter—even though sales are still down compared to last year. The twist? Shoppers are moving online and Carter’s is hustling to keep up, but old stores aren’t pulling their weight. With a new CEO and some tariff drama, the company isn’t making any big promises yet. If you’re eyeing Carter’s for your next stock pick, maybe wait for more clarity before jumping in. #RetailTrends #Investing101 #CarterKids #Ecommerce #MoneyTalk #Business10Share

If this catches on, expect your weekly shop to get a whole lot smarter (and safer) soon! #Tesco #QRCode #RetailTrends #SmartShopping #FoodWaste #Shopping70Share
Mark Sims+FollowDollar Stores Are Having a Moment—Here’s WhyIf you thought every stock was tanking this year, think again—Dollar General is quietly crushing it, up 40% since January. What’s the deal?
