Honestly, we thought weâd be done talking about the royal wedding at this point. But then we heard The Kingdom Choir (the group behind that incredible rendition of âStand By Meâ) landed a record deal, so weâre back in our feelings about it. Today, weâre going even deeper into our feelings as we talk about the closing of two of the last three Blockbusters in the U.S.
First, this newsâ¦
Does That Come with Two âDai Shipping?|
These days, it seems like you can buy just about anything on Amazon â including cars. No, really.[Hyundai recently partnered with the online e-commerce giant]( giving car buyers another way to shop.
Clean Up Your App|
Drugstore beauty products can be chock-full of icky ingredients â but âcleaner,â high-end makeup comes at a price. There has to be a middle ground, right? With the help of the Think Dirty app, [we found safer swaps for our fave drugstore products](.
âItâs a No From Meâ|
We talk a lot about working from home. Whatâs not to love, right? No boss watching your every move, no need to change out of your jammies and plenty of time to stop and grab a snack or pet your dog. But believe it or not, [the work-at-home lifestyle is not for everyone](.

As of last month, there were three Blockbuster stores left in the U.S. As of last week, weâre down to one. The last two Alaska stores announced theyâre calling it quits, leaving a lone survivor in Oregon. [We visited the Fairbanks location before the closures were announced]( get an inside look at what itâs like to work at the once great rental giant in a Netflix-dominated world.

WORD OF THE DAY
Autopay (n): A function that automatically deducts your monthly bill payments from your bank account. You can set up automatic payments with just about any vendor you purchase recurring goods or services from.
Setting your accounts (like your utilities, rent or Netflix) to autopay not only provides peace of mind â it can also save you money on things like envelopes, stamps and late fees. Plus, if youâre trying to pay off debt, [setting up automatic payments will make the whole process just a little bit smoother]( especially if youâre using the debt snowball method.
