TXU Energy to donate $60,000 to The Salvation Army of Midland
May 22—MIDLAND — With summer heat already putting additional strain on the most vulnerable Texans, TXU Energy is teaming up with The Salvation Army of Midland to provide relief.
On Thursday, May 29, TXU Energy will present The Salvation Army with a check for $60,000 to provide Energy Aid bill-payment assistance to Midland-area families.
Since 1983, TXU Energy Aid has provided more than $130 million in bill-payment assistance through donations from employees, customers, and the company. Community members interested in supporting TXU Energy Aid can make a one-time or monthly donation at txuenergyaid.com.
In addition to the Energy Aid donation, TXU Energy will once again sponsor The Salvation Army of Midland's Beat the Heat Center. The cooling station is open anytime temperatures reach triple digits and provides bottled water, electrolyte packs, and a safe place to stay cool. The center will be open through at least Labor Day.

Aldi is cutting prices on hundreds of items to help consumers deal with ‘sticker shock' in the rest of the world
Aldi is slashing prices on more than 400 items, aiming to ease consumer concerns over rising grocery bills. The discount grocer announced efforts Tuesday to help its customers across its 2,400 US stores save over $100 million over the summer months. From now until Labor Day, shoppers can expect lower prices on about 25% of its products, including grilling meats, organic produce, pantry items, and other popular summer items. 'Our customers count on Aldi for the lowest prices of any national grocer, every day, and we never take that trust for granted,' Jason Hart, Aldi CEO, said in a news release. 'While customers may see higher prices at other retailers, we're working hard to unlock even more value for our shoppers, just in time for summer's lineup of holidays and gatherings where food takes center stage. It's another way we're doubling down on our commitment to help shoppers fill their carts with great products for less.' The lowered prices come after the Department of Agriculture announced it expects grocery prices to rise by at least 3.3 percent this year. There have been fears of higher prices in the wake of President Donald Trump's 'Liberation Day' announcement of tariffs on goods from most countries around the world earlier this year, and the changing rates and policies since then. 'We want to do what we can to help shoppers,' Scott Patton, Aldi's chief commercial officer, said in a news release. 'Value isn't a trend at Aldi. It's been in our DNA since we opened our first store nearly 50 years ago.' In February, Aldi announced plans to open over 225 new US stores in 2025, aiming for 800 new locations by 2028 as part of a five-year growth strategy. There are currently over 2,500 Aldi stores in the US.

Pop-up bagel business opening brick-and-mortar shop in Encinitas
ENCINITAS, Calif. (FOX 5/KUSI) — A pop-up bagel business is expanding and bringing its sourdough goods to a permanent location in Encinitas. Focused on using organic and locally sourced ingredients, New Wave Bagel sold its fresh sourdough bagels, bialys, schmears and sandwiches as a pop-up concept on Sundays at Ironsmith Coffee in Encinitas. San Diego-area spot named one of top bars in US for 2025: Esquire Select menu items were also sold at bakeries in Bankers Hill and Sorrento Valley in San Diego, as well as in National City. Now, the business will be housed in a permanent shop located along the North County coastline in Leucadia. New Wave Bagel was co-founded by Cheryl Storms and Matt Cardwell. The former bakers at Wayfarer Bread in La Jolla came to the San Diego area with years of experience cooking and baking in San Francisco. According to the pair, the business' name came from not only their passion for baking, but also their shared love for New Wave and punk music. New Wave Bagel will share their new space with Crossings Coffee, which will be roasting fresh cups of coffee to go with their baked goods. New Wave Bagel's brick-and-mortar shop will be located at 312 N. Coast Hwy. 101 in Encinitas. An official date has yet to be announced, but it is expected to open sometime this year.
