Business buyers, including small offices, K-12 schools, local government and community organizations and residential programs, can receive a dedicated line of credit for online grocery purchases with 30-day net terms. The pay by invoice program includes a convenient self-serve portal to assign spending limits to approved purchasers and real-time tracking of invoices, payments and credit lines for streamlined financial management.
Business buyers expect the flexibility of paying with trade credit, or net terms, to better manage working capital and establish trusted relationships with retailers. Payment choice is so important that a Murphy Research study, on behalf of TreviPay, found 72% of business buyers are more loyal to a business that offers their preferred payment methods, and more than half would switch to a different retailer if it offers net terms. For added convenience, the partnership with TreviPay allows corporate shoppers to access their line of credit across Albertsons Companies' banners including Albertsons, Safeway, ACME, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's, Star Market, Vons, Pavilions, Tom Thumb and Randall's.
'Retailers are well-versed in loyalty best practices for consumers, but to reach and retain business buyers, invoicing and payment terms are critical,' said Brandon Spear, CEO of TreviPay. 'Enabling Albertsons Cos.' business customers to pay by invoice allows their corporate buyers to make large, repeat orders using their preferred payment method, while retailers eliminate the complexities of accounts receivables and fuel growth.'
Through the partnership, Albertsons Cos. stores can automate their A/R processes for business purchases with real-time credit decisioning, electronic invoice generation and payment tracking to reduce billing errors and eliminate back-office resources. The leading retailers no longer have to allocate resources to managing collections or worrying about cash flow as TreviPay settles funds right away and owns any buyer credit risk. That time and capital can be reinvested into enhancing customer experiences that require a human touch.
'Albertsons Cos. is committed to enhancing the purchasing experience and providing options for both small and large business customers,' said Anne Coyne, Senior Director of B2B Strategy and Growth at Albertsons Cos. 'TreviPay's invoicing program offers the control to customize purchasing hierarchies and the convenience of paying using credit lines, which we know are important to this buyer segment.'

HOTO SNAPBLOQ Precision Electric Screwdriver Set 20% OFF : Father Day Gifts

As someone who's spent years assembling, upgrading, and repairing electronics, I've accumulated a healthy collection of both manual and electric screwdrivers. Some are cheap and convenient; others are purpose-built and specialized. But very few, if any, have impressed me like the HOTO SNAPBLOQ Precision Electric Screwdriver Set. This isn't just another gadget—it's a finely tuned, intelligently designed tool system that makes small-scale repair work a pleasure. Father's Day Deal Alert Before I dive into the details, a quick heads-up: HOTO is running a great promotion for Father's Day. From June 1 to June 15, they're offering 20% off the SNAPBLOQ set on Amazon, bringing the price down to just $79.98. If you want the full SNAPBLOQ modular system, it's also 20% off on HOTO's own website for Fathers Day. For the quality you get, I think this deal is a no-brainer. Initial Impressions and Aesthetic Appeal The SNAPBLOQ electric screwdriver stands out immediately thanks to its very unique case and professional design. The grey and yellow color palette feels industrial yet stylish, and the anodized aluminum exterior lends a premium, solid feel. It's lightweight enough to be portable but never feels cheap or fragile. HOTO has clearly spent time refining the aesthetics, and it pays off. The driver and bit case integrate seamlessly. The cylindrical driver snaps onto the case magnetically, and to release the screwdriver, you simply press the base. It then pops out smoothly and securely. The magnets are strong but well-calibrated—not once has the driver accidentally come loose, even when throwing it into my toolbox. Watch this video on YouTube. Exceptional Bit Storage One of the best-designed elements is the bit storage. It's made of two magnetic halves that clasp tightly, with magnets in all four corners. This keeps all 56 S2 steel bits secured and aligned with extra magnets helping to keep all the individual bits in place in the case. Stopping them from all falling out across your worktop. Each bit snaps easily into and out of its slot, and the labeling is clear and easy to read. Bit types include: Phillips, Flat, Torx, Torx Security, Hex, Pentalobe, Tri-Wing, Square, Y-shaped, JIS, and even SIM card ejector. The steel used (HRC60-rated) resists rounding and wear, even with frequent use. The storage case is stackable and modular—more on that later. There is one minor issue: if you aren't careful when opening the case, the powerful magnets can sometimes pull multiple bits out of alignment. It's a minor gripe, and once you know it can happen, it's easily avoided. Driver Performance and Ergonomics The electric driver itself is fantastic. Compact and cylindrical, it has a well-balanced weight and sits comfortably in your hand. The grip is lightly textured for control without being abrasive. Controls include an up arrow for tightening (clockwise) and a down arrow for loosening (counterclockwise). There's a power button to turn it on and cycle through three torque settings. Torque levels: 0.1Nm (120 RPM), 0.35Nm (180 RPM), 0.5Nm (250 RPM) I initially found the arrow orientation a little unintuitive—left/right arrows might have made more sense—but after a few minutes of use, it became second nature. The motor is surprisingly strong and zips through screws quickly on the highest setting. Be warned: it's powerful enough to strip small screws if you're not careful. Brushless Motor and Auto-Stop Braking The driver's brushless motor is a huge step up from typical electric precision drivers. It starts up instantly, runs quietly, and offers consistent torque. HOTO claims 20% better efficiency and six times the lifespan of conventional motors. Perhaps the best part is the auto-stop braking mechanism. The moment you release the button, the motor stops completely—no overrun, no gradual slowdown. This gives you better control, reduces wear, and protects sensitive components. Lighting and Visibility The built-in LED light deserves special mention. It surrounds the bit end in a 360-degree ring and provides shadow-free, even lighting. This is extremely helpful when: Working inside electronics like laptops or tablets Locating deeply recessed screws Using the driver in dim or backlit environments You no longer need to awkwardly hold a flashlight or tilt your head for better visibility. It's a small feature, but it dramatically improves workflow. Battery Life and Charging The SNAPBLOQ runs on an 800mAh rechargeable battery, good for around 60 minutes of continuous operation. I've never had it die mid-project, even after multiple device disassemblies in a single day. Charging is via USB-C—a much-welcome choice. You can use any modern charger or cable, so even if you misplace the included one, you're not stuck. Full recharge takes under two hours in my experience. Manual Override and Precision Handling Sometimes a screw is just too tight for any electric motor. SNAPBLOQ handles this elegantly: you can manually apply initial torque, then switch to electric to finish the job. The shaft allows manual rotation, giving you precise control. This dual-mode flexibility makes it suitable for: Electronics repair Small appliance maintenance RC models and hobby builds DIY projects requiring a variety of bit types The SNAPBLOQ Modular Ecosystem What really elevates the product is its modular concept. The storage case isn't just a case—it's the foundation of a scalable, snap-together system. You can attach modules magnetically to form a desk organizer or repair hub. Stack components vertically or arrange them across your workspace. Everything clicks into place with satisfying precision. Watch this video on YouTube. The SNAPBLOQ ecosystem is clearly designed with future expandability in mind. Even if you only start with this set, you can add modules as needed. Use Cases and Practical Performance In daily use, this screwdriver is an absolute joy. I've used it to upgrade RAM in laptops, replace phone batteries, remove motherboards, and assemble small components. It doesn't flinch under load, and the range of bits means I always have the right one on hand. The motor doesn't stall, the LED reveals screw heads instantly, and I can work one-handed thanks to the ergonomic layout. There's no fiddling, no unnecessary complexity—it just works. The feedback when inserting bits and attaching components is crisp and clean, reinforcing the premium feel. Summary: Pros and Cons Pros: Three torque/speed settings Brushless motor with auto-stop braking 360° LED lighting 56 premium bits with magnetic storage Manual and electric operation flexibility USB-C charging with strong battery life Expandable SNAPBLOQ modular ecosystem Cons: Up/down arrows may take getting used to Strong case magnets can occasionally misalign bits Premium price point (offset by current discounts) Final Thoughts The HOTO SNAPBLOQ isn't just another screwdriver—it's a beautifully executed, highly functional precision toolkit that's ideal for anyone serious about electronics repair, DIY, or hardware work. Every detail reflects quality and usability. With the added modular flexibility and an excellent mix of power and finesse, it's the kind of tool you'll look forward to using. And right now, with the Father's Day sale, it's also more affordable than ever. Whether you're buying for yourself or as a gift, I can't recommend it highly enough. Would I buy it? Without hesitation. HOTO is running a great promotion for Father's Day. From June 1 to June 15 2025, they're offering 20% off the SNAPBLOQ set on Amazon, bringing the price down to just $79.98. If you want the full SNAPBLOQ modular system, it's also 20% off on HOTO's own website for Fathers Day. For the quality you get, I think this deal is a no-brainer.

America's fastest-shrinking cities revealed

Nearly half of America's 30,000 cities will shrink by the end of the century, bringing 'unprecedented challenges' in keeping the lights on and buses running on schedule, researchers warn. Experts at the University of Illinois Chicago say the worst-affected cities could shed as much as 23 percent of people, as residents move out to the suburbs and beyond for cheaper living elsewhere. The hollowed-out cities will struggle to keep up basic services, as providers of public transit, internet cables and other suppliers will struggle to turn a profit after their customers have fled. Falling numbers of tax-paying residents will strain services further still. 'The implications of this massive decline in population will bring unprecedented challenges, possibly leading to disruptions in basic services like transit, clean water, electricity, and internet access,' they said. The finance website Insider Monkey analyzed the data and identified the 15 major US cities that will be hit the hardest. The biggest names are Cleveland, Baltimore, St. Louis, Birmingham , and Detroit. All these cities have been shrinking fast in recent decades as manufacturing jobs dried up. Detroit, once the center of the automotive industry, has been on the decline since the 1950s and is still hemorrhaging people by 1.3 per cent per year, researchers said. That miserable trend looks set to continue. Most of the worst affected big cities are in the rust belt across the Northeast and Midwest. But the impact of lost factory jobs is also a problem further south in Birmingham, Alabama, Memphis, Tennessee, and Columbus, Georgia. The decline in cities is part of a border population decline. America's population will peak at nearly 370million in 2080 before edging downward to 366million in 2100 , says the US Census Bureau. People are also drifting away from the Midwest and Northeast, while parts of the South record growth. Much of this is driven by retirees, who make up an ever-greater share of America's aging population, researchers said. They're budget-conscious and less keen on the high taxes and costs of housing and healthcare in many cities. Eye watering prices are also pushing out young professionals trying to start families. The University of Illinois Chicago's 13-page study suggests that immigration could offset some losses, but warns that the decline poses a headache for mayors and planners over the coming decades. 'Although immigration could play a vital role, resource distribution challenges will persist unless a paradigm shift happens away from growth-based planning alone,' researchers said. US Census Bureau projections released late last year showed that the population will start falling from 2081 to 2100, thanks to lower birth rates, an aging population, higher death rates and cross-border migration . The population growth rate between 2022 and 2100 will be 9.7 per cent, the bureau said – far lower than the nation has grown by throughout most of its history. That change will strain the US economy. With fewer younger, tax-paying workers to support the elderly, officials will struggle to balance budgets and make payouts for Medicare and other welfare schemes. It may also affect Washington's geopolitical standing, as it competes with such rising powers as China and India, which already have more than 1.4billion people each. Sandra Johnson, a demographer at the Census Bureau, said the new projections were 'crucial for shaping policies and planning resources'. They indicated a 'slower pace of population growth through 2060 than was previously projected,' she added. The makeup of the US population, which currently stands at around 332million, also looks set to change. The share of white Americans looks set to drop from 58.9 per cent now to as low as 42.7 per cent by 2060. Meanwhile, the Hispanic population could grow from 19.1 per cent to as high as 27.8 per cent over the same period. The share of black Americans looks set to hold steady at 13 per cent.

Baker Hughes to sell sensor unit to Crane for $1.15 billion

June 9 (Reuters) - Baker Hughes (BKR.O), opens new tab said on Monday it will sell its precision sensors and instrumentation (PSI) product line to aerospace and defense parts manufacturer Crane (CR.N), opens new tab for $1.15 billion, as the oilfield services provider looks to optimize its portfolio. CEO Lorenzo Simonelli has been reshaping Baker Hughes to adapt to the global energy transition, shedding non-core assets while investing in cleaner energy solutions. The company has leaned on its portfolio refinement efforts to boost earnings and cash flow durability as the oil industry grapples with weak spending on oilfield activity. Baker Hughes last week sold 65% of its surface pressure control business to a unit of equipment maker Cactus(WHD.N), opens new tab for $334.5 million. The PSI includes three brands — Druck, Reuter-Stokes and Panametrics — which supply pressure sensing, radiation detection and flow measurement technologies used across aerospace, nuclear as well as industrial markets. The unit is projected to generate about $390 million in revenue and $60 million in adjusted EBITDA in 2025. The transaction is expected to close at the end of 2025 or early 2026, Baker Hughes said.
