Southerners know all too well that just because the months dip later into the year doesn't necessarily mean temperatures get any lower. You’ll often hear us make a sassy statement or two about the heat well into October (and to be honest, sometimes November, too). And yet, we still long to be outdoors in the late summer and early fall. Besides being able to take in our beautiful lush surroundings, it happens to be most Southerners’ favorite season—football season. Football season means tailgating season, and tailgating season means attempting the seemingly impossible: keeping foods fresh, regulated, and safe during these all-day outdoor soirees. We tapped a few experts from around the South to share some of their best tips for keeping food cold in the heat. Here’s what they had to say.

Macy's, the US retail giant, now faces a difficult future. Signs of trouble have been showing for several years, including declining traffic, aging stores, and an inability to keep up with a fast-paced retail environment.

One of the many pleasures of grocery shopping is coming home with an unexpected treat.

It’s part of what makes those center aisles of Aldi (also known as the Aldi Finds aisles) so fun to explore. In the past, I’ve come home with everything from Cuban sandwich-flavored chips to potted houseplants.
