In fact, on a recent international flight, I stuffed an AirTag into my checked luggage, just in case. It was a good thing, too. Once I landed, I was able to check the status of the AirTag and see that luggage had been left behind in Paris, so it saved us from having to waste time at baggage claim looking for a bag that would never arrive. Thankfully our luggage was found and sent on the next flight over, but the AirTag spared us a lot of stress and heartbreak during its journey home!

Retailers have been moving up the kick-off to the holiday season recently, starting with Amazon’s first October Prime Day a few years back, and retailers like Walmart quickly followed suit. It’s become an October staple, with major discounts, offering shoppers the opportunity to spread out the typical frenzy of spending that happens in Q4. One key difference between Walmart’s Holiday event and the original Amazon Prime Day is that Walmart’s savings are open to all shoppers, not just paid members. Prime Day is still only accessible to Amazon Prime members.
