Walk into any major retailer today, and you’ll see your familiar products with their prices going up. But this isn’t just inflation or corporate greed, it’s something more coordinated, more invisible. A growing number of companies are quietly adjusting their price tags, not because they want to, but because they have to. New tariffs are sweeping through supply chains, and the effects are ...

Giant Retail Chain Sells for About $1 – Store Closures Expected
Retail is often subjected to drama, but this time, something out of the ordinary has happened. One of Europe's biggest chains of bargain stores has just changed hands for the equivalent of nearly the cost of a chocolate bar. Yes, you read it right.

Costco Refuses to Raise Prices on Key Items Despite Ongoing Tariffs
When tariffs push prices up across the retail sector, Costco's refusal to raise prices on staple products is a dangerous outlier.

The five-day grind followed by a quick weekend has been the standard for so long, it’s practically sacred. But that might be changing.
