christinewhite+FollowCostco’s Sneaky Way to Dodge Price HikesHere’s a money lifehack: While other stores are blaming tariffs for price hikes, Costco is quietly keeping your grocery bill steady. They’re stocking up on more US-made goods and rerouting inventory to avoid those extra fees. On my latest Costco run, most prices were the same or even cheaper—except for a few items like grapes and seaweed. So, if you’re worried about inflation, Costco’s still a safe bet for your wallet! #CostcoFinds #GroceryHacks #SmartShopping #Business #LocalBusiness10Share
Timothy Weaver+FollowWalmart Prices Jump—Is Your Cart Next?Heads up, bargain hunters: Walmart prices are on the move, and not in the direction we like. Employees are spilling the beans online about thousands of price changes—many of them hikes—hitting everything from clothes to toys. Blame new tariffs and rising costs, but it means your weekly shop could get pricier fast. Pro tip: double-check those receipts and look out for markdowns hidden among the increases. When Walmart sneezes, other stores usually catch a cold, so expect this trend to pop up elsewhere soon. #WalmartWatch #PriceHike #SmartShopping #Business #LocalBusiness62Share
carlsongary+FollowCostco’s Early Bird Perk: Worth It?Costco’s rolling out the red carpet for Executive members—starting June 30, you can hit the aisles at 9 a.m. and enjoy a quieter, less crowded shop. Plus, if you’re into online orders, you’ll snag a $10 monthly credit for big Instacart or Same-day hauls. But here’s the catch: the fancier membership is double the price. If you’re a frequent Costco traveler or big spender, the 2% cash back and travel deals might pay off. Otherwise, do the math before upgrading! #CostcoHacks #MoneyTips #SmartShopping #Business #LocalBusiness41Share
Anthony Cook+FollowCostco’s Early Bird Perk: Worth the Upgrade?Costco’s giving its Executive Members a head start—literally! Starting June 30, if you’re shelling out for the pricier membership, you can shop an hour earlier than everyone else. That means less fighting for parking and shorter lines (hello, stress-free shopping). Regular members? You’ll still have to wait until the usual opening time. Looks like Costco’s betting big on rewarding its most loyal shoppers—and maybe nudging more folks to upgrade. Would you pay extra for a quieter Costco run? #CostcoPerks #SmartShopping #LifeHacks #Business #LocalBusiness20Share

If you’re already a Costco regular, these extras could finally make the pricier membership pay off—especially if you love beating the rush or getting groceries to your door. Time to crunch the numbers and see if it’s worth the upgrade! #CostcoHacks #MoneyTips #SmartShopping #Business #LocalBusiness10Share
Timothy Weaver+FollowCostco’s VIP Hours: Worth the Upgrade?Heads up, Costco fans! Starting June 30, executive members get to shop an hour earlier—hello, empty aisles and fresh bakery smells. Plus, there’s a $10 monthly credit if you order $150+ for same-day delivery. It’s like Costco’s rolling out the red carpet for its top-tier shoppers. The catch? You’ll need to shell out for the executive membership, but if you’re a bulk-buying pro, those perks might just pay for themselves. #CostcoHacks #SmartShopping #MoneyTips #Business #LocalBusiness20Share
Nicholas Coleman+FollowWhy Your Grocery Bill Might Spike SoonHeads up: Nigerian farmers are struggling to grow basics like maize and millet because of crazy heat and drought. That means pantry staples could get pricier or even hard to find, not just in Nigeria but worldwide. The real drama? Wells are drying up, and farmers can’t afford to pump water, so yields are way down. If you want to dodge sticker shock at the store, consider learning a bit about home gardening or shopping smarter for drought-resistant foods. Little changes can help your wallet and the planet! #FoodPrices #ClimateImpact #SmartShopping #Business #Industry20Share
