Shopping News and Holidays Deals-12/24/2018

Hello there,
How y'all doing? Well, it's that time again. The Holidays are already here and, it's crazy out there. But, that's nothing new under the sun, huh? I mean, it's like this every year. We go berserk trying to find those last minute gifts; only to find the stores are packed and full of long lines, tired shoppers and their kids, frustrated store clerks and traffic that's miles long.

The following stories share tips on how to have a happy and safe holiday, as well as some stories of some shopping occurrences; some pleasant and not so pleasant.

Let's get started

Massillon police issue warning after woman robbed while shopping

Fox8Cleveland-MASSILLON, Ohio — Massillon police are issuing a warning on social media after a woman was robbed while shopping.

According to the department’s Facebook post, it happened at Massillon Marketplace around noon on Thursday.

The victim says she was walking to her car when she noticed an older dirty looking man wearing a green and black jacket and hat. He was pretending to look for a cellphone he dropped under her car. When she went over to him to try and help, he grabbed her, took her purse and ran away. She was not hurt.

The purse was later recovered, but the suspect is still missing.

Police encourage shoppers to stay aware of their surroundings. They say reports of thefts, fraud and robberies always increase during the holidays.

The Sun-PANICKED shoppers were left in a flap on Stampede Sunday as they scrambled for last-minute Christmas items - with some fighting over turkeys.

Supermarket customers battled each other over parking spaces and food as they attempted to gobble up as much shopping as they could today.

It was an experience they could only have dreamed about: Eight local kids were taken on a holiday shopping spree at Target in Redwood City on Dec. 19 to buy gifts for family members, a treat for themselves, and a necessity like a coat or pajamas, thanks to the Atherton Police Department and its nonprofit supporting groups.

It was the department's first-ever “Shop With a Cop” holiday event, intended to provide local students with a positive mentoring experience with police, Atherton Police Chief Steve McCulley explained in a press release.

The eight students live in Menlo Park, East Palo Alto and Redwood City, but attend school in Atherton. They were chosen by their teachers at Las Lomitas, Encinal, and Laurel elementary schools based on need as well as on good academic performance and attendance.

Getting Ready For the Holidays, Hurricane Michael and-More Shopping News and Deals

Good day everyone,
Hope your Week is going well. We're officially a couple of weeks into Fall/Autumn. Soon, the leaves will be falling from the trees & we'll be preparing for Winter. There's something else many of us are preparing for- The Holidays.

It's that joyous time to spend with family, give thanks and share. It's also a busy time for preparing those holiday meals and shopping. It's also the best time to find great deals.
So, as you can see, there's a lot that'll be going on, in these next few months.

The following article talks about experts' shopping season sales prediction. Here's what they're saying

Holiday shopping: Americans will boost spending 5 percent

More consumers will be feeling jolly this holiday season, pushing up holiday spending by 5 percent to $1,250 each, thanks to a growing economy, according to consulting company PwC.

The biggest spenders this year will include men, high-earning millennials and Amazon Prime members, the study found. On the flip side, several types of consumers said they're likely to cut back this year, including people living in small towns and rural areas.

What about you? Are you planning to spend more or less this holiday? Is the economy really better this year, to allow for "big spending"? Are you expecting "big deals" this year? How will you be getting ready for the holidays? Will you be shopping mostly online or mostly via the traditional "brick and mortar"? Join the conversation! Add your responses below. Would love to hear what you think

Up next- Hurricane Michael
Meteorologists are tracking this storm very closely. They're calling it a "monstrous storm that's taking aim off the coasts of Florida. The Governor of Fla has officially declared a state of emergency and has ordered mandatory evacuations, where over 130,000 people are expected to do soon. Many have already begun. The highways along the coast are backed up and schools have already closed their doors. Many have boarded up their homes and businesses and headed out.

Hurricane Michael has already claimed the lives of 13 people in Central America.(So sorry for the victims and their loved ones). So please, take heed to all alerts and orders from your government officials. Safety first, always!

Info from Weather.com

Hurricane Michael Intensifies to Category 2; May Be Florida Panhandle's Strongest Landfall in 13 Years Wednesday

Hurricane Michael at a glance-Weather.com

Michael is expected to landfall along the Florida Panhandle Gulf Coast Wednesday.
Storm surge, damaging winds and heavy rain are likely impacts along the northeast Gulf Coast.
Hurricane warnings and storm surge warnings have been issued along the Gulf coast of Florida.
Heavy rain and strong winds will spread farther inland across parts of the Southeast after landfall.

The key to weathering a storm is-preparation. You must try to be the safest you can be, and help others to do the same. Below are some tips that can be helpful

Hurricane Preparedness-Be Ready-The National Hurricane Center

Some highlights on how to prepare and take action are available below:

The next website by FEMA (Ready.gov) gives you a step by step guide on what to do during a hurricane timeline- (i.e.what to do when a hurricane is 36 hours out, 18 to 36 hours out, 6 hours out, during and after)
Visit the FEMA Website Here For More Information

One thing you should always do is-stay informed. Charge your cellphones up so you can keep up with what's going on. Also, if you have two-way radios or a portable radio, use those to keep up with local news and announcements and to communicate with loved ones.
Portable lighting is important, in case of power outages.

Be sure to pack needed supplies (a checklist can be found on FEMA's website. Many people have already shopped the stores for hurricane preparation items. If you still need to pick up some items, now would be a good time.

In closing this story on Hurricane Michael, I cannot iterate enough on how safety is a priority.
To all those who are in direct path of this storm, please- be safe!

And now, for more headline shopping news stories:

Underprivileged Fresno kids get school clothes shopping spree-ABC30 Action News

(Here's a fascinating story about giving back)

Dozens of Fresno Unified students got a wardrobe makeover this morning.

The East Fresno Kiwanis picked 75 kids in need for their annual back-to-school shopping event that started at 6:30 a.m.

The River Park Kohl's opened up early just for them, and the kids each got a budget to pick out new clothes.
"About $150 for each kid. We've been doing this for probably 15 years. That's one thing we do with East Fresno Kiwanis," said John Bland of east Fresno Kiwanis.

Looking for a job this holiday season? Live in the Arizona area? This next article may be able to help you out.

These companies are seeking applicants for holiday-season jobs in Arizona

Retailers are expecting a robust holiday-shopping season, with the economy on a solid footing and consumer confidence strong. They're also aware of a tight job market, both nationally and in Arizona.

So it's no wonder many companies already are making pitches to lure more holiday workers. Many have been preparing to boost employment for months. Besides pay, common perks for seasonal workers include discounted merchandise and special shopping days.

"Retailers have been aggressively hiring seasonal workers since July to combat the tight job market," said Andrew Challenger, a vice president at global outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas."Retail, transport and warehousing jobs will be plentiful."

6/17/2018 Shopping News and Deals Enclosed

Hello, my wonderful fans,
How's your day going? It's a beautiful day here in Southern Virginia. I'm loving it cause, for the next week, we'll finally get some sunshine. It's been raining cats and dogs for the last few weeks.

Last week was very busy. I wanted to get some blog time in, but was a bit disappointed. Today's a "normal" day so ,I thought, hey-this would be the perfect time to update you guys on what's going on in the shopping world, and slip a few deals in, while we're at it.

So, without further ado, let's jump right on in today's shopping news.

Today's Headline News

SEVERAL CARS BROKEN INTO IN BUSY SHOPPING AREA OVERNIGHT

ATLANTA - Police are investigating several car break-ins overnight.

Thieves smashed the windows of four cars parked outside a TGI-Fridays along Camp Creek Parkway in southwest Atlanta Wednesday night.

Thieves took several items including a laptop in a backpack, an Applewatch and sandals. All of the vehicles had damage to the windows or door handles.

The area is a heavily populated shopping and dining area.

It's amazing to me that people are so bold as to do something like this. I also can't believe that they would do something so immoral and horrifying. Stealing is obviously a crime. It also is cruel because, it not only takes material objects from the victim but, it takes away their peace of mind and feeling of security.

I hope there will be some way people will learn not to do these immoral things. I also hope those who have victimized, will find a way to feel safe and have peace of mind again. If any one can cooperate with local law enforcement, you are encouraged to do so. (See the article for more info)

Next up; this article touched my heart-

13-year-old’s shopping spree wish granted

MEMPHIS, TN (WMC) -

A 13-year-old girl who is battling a critical illness got the surprise of a lifetime thanks to Make-A-Wish.

Victoria loves shopping, makeup, shoes, and purses. She's also never been outside Memphis.

So her life's wish was to go on a shopping spree in New York City.

When she arrived at Holland Photography studio, she was not expecting her wish to come true.

The studio treated her to her own special photo shoot. When the shoot was over, she got on an airplane and went to New York for a week-long shopping spree!

I literally bursted into tears. It's so nice & refreshing to hear when others do something special for another. I wish this precious little angel all the peace & happiness her little heart can handle. And may the Make-A-Wish foundation be blessed beyond measure for all the joy they bring to others.

And finally, some shopping tips/warnings:

Business Daily-Watch out for fakes on virtual shopping sites

If you thought shopping online guarantees you quality products and fast delivery, think again. Fraudsters are now targeting those buying goods on the move to make a quick buck.

And this is how it works: browsing through various sites provides one with amazing pictures. Then follows an order with the promise of delivery within hours. What you might not know is that sometimes you will receive something very different from what you ordered, in terms of quality.

But this could soon change, with the government planning to crack down on such cheats. The Anti-Counterfeit Agency (ACA) has forwarded proposals to top Industrialisation ministry officials seeking powers to monitor all online shopping sites, where those found selling counterfeits will be blocked.

Seems Like Centuries

Hey Sarah's Super Center Coupons and Deals Fans;
I know it's been awhile-Seems like centuries. I've been busy as bee; literally.
School, moving, and a few other things.

I'm so excited to get back into the swing of things, back to two of my passions; blogging and shopping! 😊
So, let me dive right in.
Speaking of moving- I found this really cool article. If you're looking to move and possibly relocate, it appears you could find yourself with a cash advance. Check this out!

Vermont will pay you $10,000 to move there and work from home

Autumn scene in Vermont

Check out that pic! Isn't it a sight for sore eyes? Such beauty! Makes me want to escape right now. And especially; that $10,000 sounds pretty nice right now.

So, what's the deal?

This past Wednesday, Quartz reports, Vermont Governor Phil Scott passed a bill that would pay people to move to Vermont and work for an employer remotely.
The Remote Worker Grant Program will take effect January 1, 2019 and will cover the cost to move, work & living expenses.

Sounds like a good deal. If you're interested, you can read more details at CNBC

Shopping by text message: Walmart rolls out Jetblack, a members-only service

Walmart is rolling out a new service, through its Store No. 8 incubator, where shoppers can order items over the phone via text message.

Known as Jetblack, the platform has quietly been in beta mode in the New York area. It will now be opened up to more applicants in New York who wish to become members, before expanding to other U.S. markets. The retailer made the announcement Thursday at its annual shareholder meeting in Bentonville, Arkansas.

The start-up is being led by Rent the Runway co-founder Jenny Fleiss, who joined Walmart last year.

Your monthly subscription runs at $50 per month. It's a bit high-cost for my everyday frugal-minded living but, If they would offer an option to purchase without a monthly membership, and pay a one-time fee; on special occasions, I'd definitely bite.

It seems like another one of Walmart's moves to compete against its biggest rival, Amazon.com. Curious to see how it will work out. If you'd like to learn more, check out the full article on CNBC

Well everybody, I'm going to have to call it a night. Its 1AM here & my biological clock has been working overtime. Time to shut it down.
As always, it's been fun. I'll be updating soon, so be sure to check back. Thanks so much for blogging with me. Until next time- Don't let the bad things of the day ruin your hopes for a better tomorrow.
