Costco Recession Signal Resurfaces as Beef Prices Hit Record Highs

During Costco’s May 2023 earnings call, I noticed a really interesting trend. Our CFO, Richard Galanti, pointed out that customers are starting to move away from buying beef and opting for more affordable protein options like canned chicken and tuna.

It suggests consumers are becoming more price-conscious and adjusting their purchasing habits.

Honor 600 Lite Review

The Honor 600 Lite immediately stands out for its sleek and refined design. Even with a large battery, it’s surprisingly lightweight – around 180 grams – and very thin at just 7.3mm. It feels premium in your hand, thanks to its stylish frame and slim bezels. It doesn’t feel like a budget phone at all, suggesting the ‘Lite’ designation likely refers to its affordable price.

Steam’s New Horror Game Feels Like P.T. and Outlast Through a Bodycam Lens

While this Steam game clearly takes inspiration from other horror titles, it sets itself apart with its combat system. Instead of being defenseless, the player has access to weapons, but ammunition is scarce, forcing strategic encounters.
