Often times the best Halloween decor and supplies, and candies, and costumes come from the stores we love and frequent all year round versus the special pop-up ones.

Since 2015 Amazon's Prime Day sales in July has become kind of like a holiday, an unofficial one. Millions of Amazon members and guests will be shopping there on July 15-16 this year and getting some great prices on small appliances, tech, power tools, shoes, clothing, baby, garden, and millions of other items.

These two book retailers are as different as it gets. Amazon is taking over the world in about every sector of commerce and Barnes and Noble has been dealing with tough times for a few years now.

It seems that all major retailers are waging shipping wars with each other while competing for customers. Walmart just recently upped the game and introduced free next day shipping without membership fees.

Amazon announced the first Prime Day in 2015 and since then it became of the biggest shopping and discount days of the year. Only Cyber Monday beats Prime Day in sales. This year the day will be July 15-16 and will last 48 hours.

Walmart has been on a roll ever since launching its online grocery ordering and store pick-up. It's been so good and profitable that the program is swiftly expanding with plans to reach 3,100 locations by the beginning of 2020. The service is currently offered at 2,450 stores.

Halloween is still a bit away, but shopping for this holiday is peaking. People want to be ready and ready they can be with these best online Halloween shopping destinations.

Holidays are right around the corner and it's time to think how we are going to get all the gifts on our shopping list without going bankrupt. It might be easier than you think if you know a few savings tips, especially when the time of the year is very frugal-friendly with Black Friday and Cyber Monday fast approaching.

Black Friday is over a month away, but you can hear it coming. The hype, the anticipation, the predictions! We might love it or hate it, but the low prices are undeniable, so be ready to hit the stores in person or on your computer if you care about savings at all.

The best way to predict what Black Friday will look like is to look at last year's hits on that day and also look at competitor offerings from the previous year. Target, Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon are pretty similar with offers and go step to step for our business, but recently Target has really been inching forward with offers and overall customer experience. Let's look at the expectations for this year and think about our buying strategies.

Grandmas are special and they often hold entire families together. Their love is unconditional, their hugs are warm, their wisdom is unrivaled, and we know we don't have unlimited time to show how much we appreciate them, so let's shower them with the best of everything this holiday season!

Online grocery order and pick-up market is still quite young and kind of an uncharted territory. Walmart has one of the biggest brick-and-mortar presences in the country, so there is little surprise that the retail giant is quickly taking over the online grocery market too.

Walmart is reporting big financial gains and most of them come from ever-growing grocery pick-up service that retailer has been so focused on. Grocery pickup leads to the expansion of grocery delivery, which seems the logical next step as more and more consumers desire extra convenience in their lives.

This is definitely a question worth exploring. For so long Amazon has been for e-stores what Walmart was once for mom and pop shops. In fact, Amazon's reach is felt by retailers with physical stores too - they are seeing loss of business and customer migration to online and fast shipping convenience.

Have you ever thought about how much your pet food costs per year? If you read some average calculations, you will find that people spend about $120 to $500 each year. That largely depends on the type of animal and on the brand of food you choose to buy.

As Corona virus and resulting COVID-19 sickness is taking a hold on the world, many of us desire to stay home and distance ourselves from everybody. Limiting all activities, social gatherings, and staying away from food stores is one way to do it, but we still need to eat. Getting produce online is a sure method to receive what you need while staying at home or if quarantine is implemented.

If you simply don't feel like shopping at your food store or if you don't feel safe there these days because of Corona virus spread, there are plenty of apps and food delivery service companies that can get you not only perishables, but meals from your favorite eateries.

While we hear so many bad news every day from the media and witness COVID-19 cases grow exponentially, we often forget to look for inspirational stuff.

Getting art supplies anywhere can be tricky. Getting them online is even more so. Getting good ones online is completely difficult. Unfortunately, online is pretty much the only place we can go to now that we are sitting home voluntarily or following 'shelter in place' orders from our state government.

As corona virus is here to stay for a while and we are to remain at home, panic buying is not going to end any time soon. Besides sanitizing products, paper towels, and toilet paper, people are stockpiling dog food and other supplies.

COVID is here to stay a while longer, but when you turn 18, you turn 18 and no virus can stop you. This is how we felt about our son becoming adult this past weekend - an occasion so special that had to be marked with at least a small circle of friends and family.
