I’m a manager at Aldi – the 5 supermarket secrets every customer is dying to know, including Specialbuys

The Associated Press

The owner of 7-Eleven convenience stores and other retail chains has received a buyout offer from Canada’s Alimentation Couche-Tard. Japan’s Seven & i Holdings on Monday said that a special committee that made up of outside directors has been formed to review the bid, but released no other details.  Shares of Seven & i jumped 23% in Tokyo, the largest single day jump for the stock in the company’s history.  “This potential takeover bid is a huge deal. 7-Eleven is the biggest operator in the US convenience retail store space with a 14.5% share of the market in 2023,” said Neil Saunders, managing director of GlobalData. “By comparison, Alimentation Couche-Tard’s banners had a 4.6% market share. So, combining the two would produce an entity that controls almost a fifth of the market.”

One Walmart shopper is issuing a warning against buying meat at the massive retail chain—but the reason why isn’t strictly tied to Walmart. It seems that customers at stores such as Walmart believe it's acceptable to grab perishable items, such as meat or dairy, and then place them on any available shelf if they decide they no longer want them.

Although technology has made everything from payments to shopping and even doing taxes more convenient, it has opened doors to the scams that hit people in the most unexpected places. Self-checkout counters may have enabled people to quickly swing in and out of grocery stores, but people are being conned in the most unexpected ways out there. Rachel Evana–who goes by @rachelevana on TikTok–found herself in a similar situation when she was robbed at the self-checkout of a Food Lion store. To her surprise, the person who stole money from her also turned out to be an old lady, prompting her to warn others by sharing the experience online.

Amy McCarthy is a reporter at Eater.com, focusing on pop culture, policy and labor, and only the weirdest online trends. The last decade or so has been a golden era for cool food products sold directly to consumers online. Think of Fly By Jing, the wildly popular Sichuan chile crisp, or Magic Spoon, the grain-free, low-carb cereal that’s earned a cult following. But after attaining the niche cool factor via podcast ads, chic shoppy shops, and food media raves, these brands have one unlikely destination in common: the grocery aisles at Walmart.

I own two of the IKEA RÅSKOG utility carts that I've used as a coffee bar, a bar cart, and in the pantry.
