Jasmine Rush+FollowCracker Barrel's Gift Shop Gets a MakeoverNext time you stroll through Cracker Barrel’s gift shop, you might notice fewer quirky finds. Thanks to tariffs on Chinese goods, the chain is rethinking what it stocks—and how much it charges. About a third of those rocking chairs and Dolly Parton mugs come from China, so prices could rise or selection could shrink. On the bright side, this shakeup might mean new, unexpected goodies on the shelves. Time to keep an eye out for fresh deals! #CrackerBarrel #RetailTrends #Tariffs #Shopping15239Share

Anthony Cook+FollowBrandy Melville Finally Adds a Medium?!Brandy Melville, the brand known for its 'one size fits (sm)all' vibe, just opened a new shop in Notting Hill called St George, and—get this—they actually offer size medium now! While it’s still mostly tiny tees and dresses, this is a baby step toward more inclusive sizing. If you’ve ever squeezed into their clothes or felt left out, this could be your chance to finally snag those Insta-famous basics. Still, with UK average sizes being way above a medium, it’s not exactly a revolution—more like a cautious toe-dip into reality. #fashionnews #bodypositivity #retailtrends #Shopping10Share

Anthony Cook+FollowPharmacy Closures: What’s My Backup Plan?Heads up: CVS, Walgreens, and Rite Aid are closing over 1,700 stores nationwide, so your go-to pharmacy might disappear soon.

If you rely on a local pharmacy, now’s the time to check which locations are sticking around and maybe set up mail-order refills as a backup. Don’t get caught off guard next time you need a quick medicine run! #PharmacyClosures #MoneyHacks #RetailTrends #Shopping90Share
