Is the average shopper using AI to save $$$?

Just ask AI to find you coupon codes.

For products that commonly use affiliates & "influencers" (like SaaS companies), you can ask it to find affiliate codes. In most cases, you'll find several codes that didn't show with the original request.

Shocking! Who could've seen this coming?

Retailers need to prepare for a slow year.

Super interested in this. I wrote about this back in 2017 (link in the comments). As a WF-first household, I can see my wife getting lost in there. When you capture her, you capture the dollar (WMT knew this 40+ years ago).

I've been saying this for years, and it was always a lazy narrative, IMO. This extends beyond fashion and sustainability. It also includes things like brand ethics and covers just about every product category.

Hey @buffalobillsnfl.bsky.social maybe ask GMBB if he still thinks not having good WRs is a good strategy.

Joe Brady can go now. That goal line sequence was atrocious!
December 28, 2025 at 11:50 PM
I find it comical that the Bills find it acceptable to punt and give the ball to the Pats at midfield but going for it on 4th and potentially giving it to them at their own 44 is too much of a risk.

Joe Brady play-calling continues to be terrible.

Can we maybe stop with the second and long runs? Maybe dial up something to get a first instead of settling for 3rd and short??

Why are the Bills giving 10 yard cushions?

Geesh!

10 years ago, I thought Amazon was becoming a legitimate delivery service (not just an Amazon one), preparing to replace the USPS.

I think Amazon wants the USPS for some last-mile, but Amazon has leverage.

Good thing the Bills are running the ball to keep the game close.

I get it, injuries. Doesn’t mean you can’t throw it. In fact, keep running and you’re going to HAVE to throw it.

My 13 y/o is predicting the plays.

What is that 4th down call????????

Are you serious!?!?

When you run it up the middle on almost every first down, you create more obvious passing downs.

Help your QB out Brady!!

At this time of year, brands work every angle to get people into stores for the holidays. This is especially true for grocers leading up to Thanksgiving.

However, there is 1 MAJOR problem with this piece of mail I got from Kroger.

Any guesses?

I provide some perspective. Agree, disagree, something to add?
