Nicole Washington+FollowWill Holiday Boycotts Hit Target, Amazon & Home Depot?Coffee break scoop: Some shoppers are planning to skip Target, Amazon, and Home Depot this holiday season to protest these companies rolling back diversity programs. Boycotts don’t always dent sales, but recent ones (like Bud Light) show they can sting if enough people join in. With inflation squeezing wallets, it’s tough to shop your values, but even a short pause in spending can send a message. Would you change your holiday shopping plans for a cause? #Business #LocalBusiness #HolidayShopping215Share
gregorybrown+FollowTeens Spilled: What They Actually Want!Holiday shopping for teens is a minefield, but I got the inside scoop from my own two and their crew.

Forget guessing—this is what’ll actually make them smile! #News #TeenGiftGuide #HolidayShopping00Share
Diane Carter+FollowHoliday Shopping? Watch Out for Card Fraud!Heads up, holiday shoppers: 1 in 4 credit card users got hit by fraud last year, and Gen Z is especially at risk. With more people using payment apps and skipping security steps, scammers are having a field day. Before you start swiping for gifts, set up real-time alerts, use digital wallets, and try virtual card numbers if your bank offers them. Quick tip: If you spot something weird, report it ASAP to freeze your card and stop the damage! #Business #MakeMoney #HolidayShopping00Share
Linda Price+FollowHoliday Shopping? Watch Out for Surprise Fees!Heads up, holiday shoppers! If you’re eyeing gifts from overseas, brace yourself for extra charges at checkout or even at your doorstep. The old rule that let you skip taxes on imports under $800 is gone, so now every international package can come with a surprise bill. One shopper paid $250 in fees for a $456 coat! To avoid sticker shock, double-check where your gifts ship from and look for U.S.-based sellers. #Business #HolidayShopping #MoneyTips00Share

Kim Brown+FollowHoliday Returns at Macy’s, JCPenney & Nordstrom Rack: What’s the Catch?Heads up, holiday shoppers! Big stores like Macy’s, JCPenney, and Nordstrom Rack are making it pricier to return gifts by mail this season—think $8 to $10 per box, and up to $85 for big stuff like furniture. The good news? In-store returns are still free. So, if you want to save cash (and avoid those sneaky fees), make a quick trip to the store instead of mailing it back. Membership perks can also help you dodge fees! #Business #LocalBusiness #HolidayShopping10Share
Amanda+FollowThanksgiving Done successfully all thanks to walmart voucherThanksgiving almost didn’t happen for me this year. Prices were ridiculous, SNAP wasn’t stretching at all, and everything I needed for dinner felt way out of my budget. I was honestly ready to give up on the whole holiday because it felt impossible to afford. Walmart ended up saving the day for me. Between the cheaper swaps, last-minute deals, and a little extra help I wasn’t expecting, I managed to pull a real Thanksgiving meal together. If you’re struggling with groceries too, I added something in my bio that helped me get through it. Use it if you need it. #Thanksgiving2025 #WalmartFinds #WalmartFinds #HolidayShopping #GroceryHacks #BudgetLife #SNAPStruggles #EBTBenefitsWoes #RealLifeParenting #HolidayShopping #FamilyDinner #StretchYourGroceries2010Share
