Costco Fans Ditch These Kirkland Staples

Ever grabbed a Kirkland deal at Costco and felt let down? You’re not alone! Shoppers are calling out eight Kirkland products—from bland cheddar cheese to scratchy toilet paper—that just don’t cut it. The big drama? Kirkland diapers switched manufacturers, and parents say the new ones are a total flop. Pro tip: Sometimes it pays to stick with name brands, even if it costs a little more. Your taste buds (and your baby’s bum) will thank you! #CostcoFinds #Kirkland #ShopSmart #Business #LocalBusiness

Check if your local store is on the upgrade list! #WalmartUpdate #StoreMakeover #ShopSmart #Business #LocalBusiness

Why I’m Sticking With My Credit Card

Ever tried those new 'pay by bank' buttons at checkout? Super quick, but here’s the catch: if your order goes sideways, you might be on your own. Unlike credit cards, which have your back if a company flakes or goes bust, pay by bank doesn’t come with those safety nets. So, for big buys or booking that dream trip, I’m keeping my card handy—just in case! #MoneyHacks #ShopSmart #ConsumerTips

Walmart’s Policy Change Sparks Shopper Boycotts

Walmart just hit pause on its diversity and inclusion programs, and people are not happy. Shoppers and staff say it feels like a slap in the face, and some are even boycotting the store—both in-person and online. The big takeaway? When a store changes its values, it can hit more than just the headlines; it can hit your wallet and your shopping habits, too. If you’re picking where to spend, keep an eye on how companies treat their people. #WalmartBoycott #MoneyMoves #ShopSmart #Business

Guess America’s Top 10 Stores?

Ever wonder where everyone’s shopping these days? Trader Joe’s and Costco top the list of America’s favorite stores, with Home Depot and Lowe’s climbing fast. The big shift? People are ditching the mall for brands they trust and stores that feel like part of their routine. With online shopping booming, loyalty now means more than just low prices—it’s about the vibe and what you get for your buck. Where do you shop most? #RetailTrends #ShopSmart #ConsumerLife #Shopping

Why Costco Wins & Target Tanks Right Now

Here’s a money move you might not have noticed: Companies sticking with diversity and inclusion (like Costco) are actually winning more trust—and dollars—from shoppers. Meanwhile, Target tried to backpedal on its DEI promises and, surprise, got hit with boycotts and a sales slump. So, if you want your favorite stores to keep it real and ethical, keep an eye on where you spend. Your shopping cart is more powerful than you think! #MoneyTalks #ShopSmart #CostcoWins #Business

Dollar General Drama: Should We Care?

So, Pastor Jamal Bryant is calling out Dollar General for not playing fair in rural towns—think fewer fresh food options and not enough chances for local folks to move up at work. He’s not asking for a full-on boycott, but wants people to speak up online and let Dollar General know we notice. If you shop there, maybe ask yourself: are they really helping your community, or just cashing in? #MoneyTalk #CommunityMatters #ShopSmart #Shopping

Why Costco Wins When Target Fumbles DEI

Here’s a hot take for your next coffee break: companies that stick with diversity and inclusion are actually winning with shoppers. When Target dialed back its DEI efforts, shoppers noticed—and so did their sales, which dropped almost 3%. Meanwhile, Costco doubled down on its DEI game and saw both its reputation and revenue jump. The lesson? People want to spend where they feel good about the company’s values. So, if you’re deciding where to shop, maybe let your dollars do the talking! #MoneyMoves #ShopSmart #DEIMatters #Business

Why Walmart & Target Are Sweating Boycotts

Heads up, shoppers: Walmart and Target are quietly stressing over possible boycotts as customers get heated about new store policies. Both brands are caught in the crossfire over social issues—think diversity programs and price hikes. The drama? When these giants tweak their stances (like pulling Pride merch or rolling back diversity efforts), they risk ticking off just about everyone. For us, it means more policy flip-flops and maybe even higher prices as stores scramble to keep everyone happy. #RetailDrama #MoneyMoves #ShopSmart #Shopping
