Whole Foods' vegan vanilla cupcakes are praised for their fluffy and moist texture, making them a top choice for those seeking plant-based options. Customers enjoy the well-balanced frosting made with vegan cream cheese, which complements the cupcake perfectly.

"They are like royalty in Bentonville," said Charu Thomas, who chairs the board of Bentonville-based organizations, reflecting the Walton family's significant influence in the area.

The pretzels are next level. Seriously though Lidl's bakery has no business being as good as it is. One customer described Lidl's brownies as life-changing, and another shopper called Lidl's pain au chocolat the best found outside of Paris.

It's topped with salted caramel and little churro bites, and you can get it with vanilla, chocolate, or swirl ice cream. Based on the more than 500 responses to the post at the time of writing, opinions of the new sundae are mixed at best. It seems that for some, there is no replacement for the tried-and-true Costco churro from the days of yore.

There's no labor of love quite like pasta making. It's a culinary art, not because it's overly complicated or because it calls for an entire cupboard's worth of ingredients, but because it requires patience and finesse - and quality flour never hurt. I've only ever attempted the craft under the supervision of a trained chef during cooking classes. And even then, I've ended up with uneven noodles.

While Walmart sells OMNI plant-based meats and countless other high-protein products from name brands, the grocer's many in-house labels are always worth searching for, as they provide great quality and nutrition at a much lower price tag.

For going on five-and-a-half years now, I have traveled this country full-time in a short bus that my wife and I converted into our tiny home on wheels. Over those years of gallivanting through wild country I have worked as a recipe developer and food writer, penning two cookbooks for fellow campers and nomads sold under the title " The Buslife Kitchen."

Sam's Club's new cookie tray comes with a whopping 60 cookies made up of five unique flavors. This lineup includes a flavor for everyone: Honey Almond Shortbread, Birthday Cake Shortbread, Chocolate Cherry, Blueberry & Creme, and Salted Caramel Cashew. The entire tray costs just $19.93, and you'll get 12 of each flavor. This is a steal compared to Costco's most recent holiday cookie tray, which also featured 60 cookies but cost $24.99. Not only will Sam's Club's newest bakery item sweeten up your day, it'll save you $5 - and there's nothing better than a sweet deal.

The outlook for 2026 I'm watching 2026 with equal parts optimism and urgency. Optimism because consumer demand is still there. Retail sales have remained resilient in recent data. Urgency because the operating environment is only getting tighter. Coming out of FY2025, large retailers demonstrated resilience amid inflation pressure, shifting consumer behavior, and global supply-chain complexity. Walmart raised its outlook and leaned further into a model that blends physical stores, e-commerce scale, and execution discipline.

Amazon opened Fresh in 2020 after acquiring Whole Foods in 2017. Some assumed that Amazon Fresh would offer their favorite organic yogurt or premium meat because of the shared ownership. While Fresh stores did stock some Whole Foods 365 products, store employees said, Amazon sought to offer more affordable groceries and showcase its technology, such as Just Walk Out and smart shopping carts, at Amazon Fresh.
