Costco's new rotisserie chicken sparks shopper outrage
By Costco members are still not over the retailer's poultry offering — chicken in plastic bags. The company switched from selling its ready-cooked chicken in plastic containers to plastic bags last year, which is continuing to anger shoppers. While inflation and tariffs have not forced the company to raise the $4.99 price tag, shoppers still say they 'hate the chicken in bags.' 'So many ways to improve this packaging and yet they don't. So hard to cut them apart and they always leak when defrosting in the fridge,' a Costco shopper wrote on Reddit. 'The packages of chicken parts are frustrating because they tend to be hard to separate without having leaks,' another person responded. 'The seam between portions are razor thin and the plastic bubble itself is very thin and prone to leaks from basic handling.' Some Americans have even opted to skip out on Costco's rotisserie chickens and purchase the meet from Aldi or Sam's Club instead. The fury over plastic packaging comes after some Costco members also accused the company of selling unappetizing chicken breasts. Besides bagged chicken, some Costco shoppers are infuriated with the quality and packaging for products like salad, tofu and peanut butter. 'I wish the peanut butter, almond butter, and MCT oil came in glass, not plastic,' a Reddit post creator admitted. 'I wish the tofu was high protein like Sprouts and Trader Joe's offers (almost twice the protein of the Costco stuff). I wish the old muffins were still around. The current ones are bland and dry,' a customer claimed. 'The microwave popcorn bags are glued improperly and you can't open them without a knife,' another shopper claimed. Reddit users have slammed Costco's changes for months following its decision to swap Pepsi for Coca-Cola in food courts . Customers had been on the verge of boycotting since the chain swapped drink brands — which worsened after Costco started stocking Kirkland diapers made by First Quality. Customers branded the diapers as 'cheap' after longtime supplier Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies, ended its partnership with the retailer last year to focus on its own premium products. Other issues food enthusiasts have found it hard to get over include the removal of cinnamon sugar churros from stores and the addition of frozen strawberry lemonade. Costco has been working to raise its customer satisfaction and member count, including by extending store hours for its Executive members. Executive tier members can now shop for an hour earlier than regular Gold Star members. The big box retailer will now allow its top tier members, who pay $130 a year, to shop from 9am to 10am on weekdays and Sundays, and 9am to 9:30am on Saturdays. These membership holders have praised the retailer for the policy change — but some employees have found it challenging to adjust to the new hours. Costco added pumps and expanded its gas station hours before implementing the exclusive perk. The hours are now 6:00 am to 10:00 pm on weekdays, 6:00 am to 8:30 pm on Saturdays and 6:00 am to 7:30 pm on Sundays. The chain is continuing to grow its nearly 1,000 location count — including opening a standalone gas station in California next year . Daily Mail has reached out to Costco for comment about the backlash and is awaiting response.

This quarter, analysts are expecting Advance Auto Parts's revenue to decline 8.7% year on year to $1.99 billion, a deceleration from its flat revenue in the same quarter last year.

Inside Target, Frustrated Employees and the Search for a New CEO
Many Target TGT -0.26%decrease; red down pointing triangle shoppers are frustrated with the retailer. Many Target employees are too. In early June, a companywide survey showed that roughly half of Target's employees didn't think the company was making the changes necessary to compete effectively. About 40% of the roughly 260,000 staffers who replied said they didn't have confidence in the company's future. The scores—which declined from a year ago—were even lower for those staffers at Target's headquarters in Minneapolis.

DreamCloud Mattress Sale: Save Up To 66% For Its Early Labor Day Sale
DreamCloud's early access Labor Day sale is live and already showcasing a few all-time low prices on top-rated beds. While the official holiday weekend isn't until the end of the month, early offers from the DreamCloud mattress sale look promising, including up to 62% off editor-tested beds, like our pick for the best value mattress: the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid. Save up to 62% on editor-tested models and up to 66% on bundles during this DreamCloud mattress ... More sale. ILLUSTRATION: FORBES / PHOTO: RETAILER Below, we've detailed several popular DreamCloud mattresses on sale, including models that we recommend based on first-hand testing and research. You'll also find discounted bundles—like this DreamCloud Bamboo Platform Bundle—to help with a full bedroom refresh. If you're looking for a specific bed to address your sleep needs, check out our guide to the best mattress sales overall for offers from more top bed brands. DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid (Queen): Now $1,399, Was $2,464 (43% Off) DreamCloud Classic Hybrid (Queen): Now $649, Was $1,698 (62% Off) DreamCloud Premier Hybrid (Queen): Now $999, Was $2,313 (57% Off) DreamCloud Premier Memory Foam (Queen): Now $1,099, Was $2,282 (52% Off) DreamCloud Luxe Memory Foam (Queen): Now $1,499, Was $3,299 (55% Off) DreamCloud Ultra Hybrid (Queen): Now $1,999, Was $2,799 (29% Off) DreamCloud Classic Memory Foam (Queen): Now $799, Was $1,598 (50% Off) DreamCloud Premier Adjustable Bundle (Queen): Now $1,398, Was $3,950 (65% Off) DreamCloud Foundation Bundle (Queen): Now $1,458, Was $3,507 (58% Off) DreamCloud Bamboo Platform Bundle (Queen): Now $1,598, Was $3,892 (59% Off) Bed Frame with Headboard Bundle (Queen): Now $1,848, Was $4,025 (54% Off) Formerly known as the DreamCloud Premier Rest, the DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid used to be our pick for the best mattress for pressure relief and is still our pick for the best soft hybrid mattress. Its combination of pocketed coils, gel-infused memory foam and a pillow-top layer provides just the right balance of support and plushness for back, side and combination sleepers. The bed is also offers excellent motion isolation to help you stay asleep if your partner moves during the night. More Deal Information: This mattress dropped an additional $100 over Memorial Day weekend, but this is the best price we've seen since then. The total price of the mattress also increased slightly in August. The DreamCloud Hybrid is a medium-firm mattress that combines coils with memory foam to provide ample support and pressure relief. After testing dozens of mattresses, our sleep team named it the best mattress in a box for back and stomach sleepers and the best value mattress in our main shopping guide. The only downside? It comes in just a medium-firm option, so if you want something plusher (or more supportive), you may want to consider a different model. More Deal Information: Although this is the best price we've ever seen for this model, DreamCloud raised the bed's original price from $1,531 to $1,698 in August. This artificially inflates the total percentage off and may impact future discounts. If you want a cozy and plush bed without sacrificing support, the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is one to consider. It has individually wrapped coils that give it a little bounce while encouraging spinal alignment. There are also plenty of foam layers to offer pressure relief, and a cushy Euro pillow top for comfort. 'The support of the DreamCloud Premier Hybrid is one of its most impressive features,' reports a Forbes Vetted staffer who tried out the mattress for 60 days. That's part of why we named it the best hybrid mattress for sleepers who switch between their back and side. More Deal Information: This mattress hit a low of $949 in May. An elevated version of the DreamCloud Classic, this all-foam model is plusher and cooler than its baseline design. It offers a slightly loftier 13-inch height and a cushy Euro top. Overall, the mattress is well-rated by reviewers for its balance of support, comfort and cooling features. More Deal Information: This discount matches the best price we've seen for this model since DreamCloud updated its designs earlier this year. However, it also increased the original price from $1,598, so the total percentage off appears significantly larger than before. This design is the all-foam version of our favorite mattress for pressure relief. It's composed of six layers of foam, including DreamCloud's popular cooling Euro top, which contours the body and offers support throughout the night while keeping sleepers cool. More Deal Information: This deal matches the low we saw over Memorial Day weekend, but the brand has also increased the original price of this model from $2,249. This hybrid design uses a combination of foam and springs to deliver a plush yet supportive sleep. Its six layers include cooling materials, individually wrapped coils and a 4-inch Euro top that all work together to deliver medium-soft firmness. More Deal Information: This is a newer model with a limited price history, but this is the best price we've seen so far for the Ultra Hybrid design. Offering a firm sleeping experience and contoured pressure-relief, this is DreamCloud's take on a classic memory foam bed. It's one of the brand's most affordable beds and still incorporates its proprietary CloudQuilt material that helps keep sleepers cool through the night. More Deal Information: This design hit a low of $679 around the 4th of July and has dropped to $765 periodically since 2024, so it may be worth waiting for an additional discount. DreamCloud also dropped the original price of this mattress by just over $100, which could signal steeper discounts on the horizon. If you've ever considered an adjustable bed frame, now's your chance to pick up DreamCloud's version for over half-off. It can be controlled using a wireless remote or app and has a massage feature with three intensity levels. More Deal Information: This discount matches the best price we've seen for the adjustable frame this year. If your child needs a bed frame upgrade to go with a new kids mattress, this basic foundation is neutral and easy to set up. Right now, both the twin and twin XL sizes of this foundation are on sale for 22% off. Or consider purchasing it as part of a bundled deal with a mattress for 60% off. More Deal Information: The twin size of this bed frame was available for over 50% off during DreamCloud's Memorial Day sale. During the brand's summer sale, the DreamCloud bamboo bed frame is discounted by an impressive 53%. It's available in two finishes: the natural color shown here as well as a darker walnut finish. All sizes of this bed frame currently have hefty discounts. Add on a bamboo headboard for $300 more or an upholstered one for $199. More Deal Information: This frame dropped to $399 over Memorial Day, so it may be worth waiting for a steeper discount during another holiday weekend. The brand also increased the price of the frame from $1,270 to $1,414 this month. This mid-century-inspired design features a rich walnut grain finish and built-in drawers on either side of the base. It's a great way to add extra storage to your room or to replace a dresser entirely if you're working with a smaller space. More Deal Information: This is the same price we saw for this bed frame last month, but DreamCloud has increased the frame's original price by $100. If you're looking for a minimalist frame, this simple design is on sale for 60% off right now. The sleek frame comes together in under 30 minutes and is also compatible with adjustable bases. More Deal Information: This current discount matches the best price we've seen for this bed frame, but DreamCloud increased the frame's original price since our last update so the discount looks steeper. It doesn't get much more classic than this linen upholstered frame. It's a simple design with elegant touches, like button tufting on the headboard and tapered legs. The model is available in both gray and the pictured linen above. DreamCloud includes everything you need to assemble the frame in the box, which can take as little as 20 minutes. More Deal Information: The original price of this bed frame has increased slightly from $760, but this discount matches the lowest it has ever dropped to. This bundle includes the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid mattress—our recent top pick for the best value mattress—alongside the Premier Adjustable Base. The steel frame is fully customizable to your preferences and can nest within most regular bed frames if you want to change up the aesthetic. You'll also receive the Serenity Bedding Bundle with your purchase, which includes everything you need for a complete bed refresh. This best-selling foundation has a simple, streamlined aesthetic and comes with the popular DreamCloud Premier mattress. The bed is a step up from the Classic, offering a plusher and cooler sleeping experience. You'll also get a bedding bundle with all of the basics: sheets, pillows and a mattress protector. Pair DreamCloud's Classic memory foam mattress with a contemporary bamboo frame for a serene bedroom overhaul. This bundled deal also includes a special bedding set with extra soft sheets, two cooling pillows and a breathable mattress protector—nice additions for hot sleepers. Lay back and relax on a delightfully soft yet supportive mattress—we named it the best soft hybrid mattress in one of our shopping guides for a reason. This set also includes an upholstered bed frame, headboard and a classic bedding bundle.

Mattress and sleep editor McKenzie Dillon is also a certified sleep science coach and prolific mattress tester with five years of experience. What Is The Life Expectancy Of A DreamCloud Mattress? According to the DreamCloud website, a premium hybrid mattress from the company can last anywhere from seven to ten years. That said, the average lifespan of a mattress depends on a number of factors, including care, support and usage. You can extend the lifespan of your mattress by rotating it every three months, changing your bedding once per week, vacuuming it once per month and installing a mattress pad or protector to help against spills or other accidents. Are Nectar And DreamCloud The Same Company? Nectar and DreamCloud are owned by the same parent company, Resident Home. Resident Home also owns mattress brands Awara and Cloverlane. What Firmness Level Is The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress? The DreamCloud Hybrid Mattress offers a medium-firm firmness rating. Based on a scale of 1 through 10, the brand rates it at a 6.5—meaning it has a middle-of-the-road firmness that's suitable for most sleepers. Are DreamCloud Mattresses Worth The Money? DreamCloud's mattresses earned some of the highest marks during testing and hold top spots in several of our mattress shopping guides. The DreamCloud Luxe Hybrid is one of the brands most popular beds and a former top pick in our guide of the best mattresses overall. The hybrid model often drops to $1,299 during holiday weekends, so you may want to wait to get a better discount than its current offer. If affordability is your top concern, consider the DreamCloud Classic Hybrid. A new addition to our shopping guide, the mattress is our pick for the best value mattress, and right now it's on sale for under $650. During testing, we found the mattress has a medium-firm feel that's ideal for back and stomach sleepers, and may also accommodate some part-time side sleepers.

Nectar updated its collection of mattresses earlier this year, with the Nectar Premier now sporting a more supportive and high-quality design. It still embodies the traditional memory foam feel many sleepers look for, but with added responsiveness, and its thick foams do an excellent job of isolating motion. Pro tip: We recommend upgrading to the hybrid model if you're an especially hot sleeper. Sleep Number's i8 model is packed with features to help hot (and noisy) sleepers. The entire mattress, from the cover to the foam, is designed to pull heat away from the body and allow for better ventilation. It also offers customizable firmness levels for each side of the bed. It can also adjust to your needs as you sleep and connect to a companion app to track your sleeping habits. We named the Helix Luxe our favorite mattress overall this year after it received top marks across the board during our testing. Between its lofty 13.5-inch height, cozy pillow top and superior motion isolation, the mattress is a true crowd-pleaser. If you're searching for the best soft mattress, we recommend the Amerisleep AS5. It was one of the softest beds we tested, and using code FORBES600 will save you $600 on any Amerisleep mattress. We found that this model cradles your body nicely and offers excellent pressure relief for side sleepers' hips and shoulders. However, the design doesn't deliver great edge support, and our hot-sleeping tester noted a slight heat buildup. While many mattresses are designed to support 230 to 250 pounds per side, the Helix Plus supports 1,000 pounds total. That—combined with its pressure-relieving foam, ample edge support and price tag—secured its place as our best value mattress for heavy people. This luxurious hybrid mattress is ideal for couples who predominantly sleep on their sides or backs. (Heavier sleepers or folks who tend to sleep on their stomach may want to seek out a firmer bed.) It has a plush Euro top our testers loved, and cooling properties throughout that keep you cozy and cool through the night. Anyone looking for a particularly luxurious organic mattress should check out the cushy Botanical Bliss from PlushBeds. It comes with a 100-night trial and a lifetime warranty, and the mattress is certified by a variety of third-party organizations that back its overall quality and sustainability. This Bear mattress comes in soft, medium, and firm variations and offers excellent motion isolation and edge support, all factors that led our sleep editors to name it the best mattress for couples . If you tend to sleep hot, consider adding the Celliant-infused cover for an additional $195—the material can help regulate your body temperature during the night. Plush yet supportive, this classic mattress is our favorite pillow top design . It offers plenty of pressure relief and excellent edge support, plus comes capped with a cozy Euro pillow top. We found the bed to be slightly firmer than advertised, so keep that in mind as you select between its three firmness levels (luxury firm, firm and plus). The Plank Firm is our top pick if you're looking for a firm bed . The mattress has a flippable design that offers two firmness levels in one, and hot sleepers can add a cooling cover for $150. In our tests, we rated the bed highly for its back support and its ability to keep spinal alignment neutral. At 15 inches tall, the Nolah Evolution has a luxurious construction and stellar support. It comes in plush, luxury firm and firm options, so you can choose the best firmness level for your sleeping position. All models feature a cushy Euro topper, cooling materials and zoned coils that offer targeted support for different areas of your body. Hybrid mattresses are popular because they're an accommodating blend of memory foam and innerspring mattresses. The Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid has four layers of memory foam to provide pressure relief and a layer of zoned coils for bounce and support. This results in an on-top-of-the-bed, gentle hugging feel. You can also choose from plush, medium-firm or firm for your preferred comfort level. In our guide to the best mattresses , we rated this pick as the best cooling mattress. It has copper and gel-infused foams, plus 8 inches of airflow-promoting coils. After months of testing, we found that this mattress regulates temperature exceptionally well and prevents heat buildup. No bedroom refresh is complete without some new bedding. Here are the best early Labor Day bedding sales to help you find something that'll complement your new mattress.

In general, most holiday weekends offer similar mattress sales. (That includes Labor Day weekend.) That said, Black Friday and Cyber Monday typically bring about the absolute lowest prices of the year. If you don't mind waiting, you can often save an extra 5 to 10% around those holidays. How Do I Know Which Mattress Is Right For Me? The right mattress for you depends on a variety of factors, including your sleep style and your budget. Certain mattresses are designed to accommodate specific sleep positions, and some materials cost more than others. If you're looking for a middle-of-the-road option that can appeal to many people, our sleep editors named the Helix Midnight Luxe the best mattress overall after testing over 200 models. Is Labor Day The Best Time To Buy A Mattress? Labor Day is one of the best times of the year to buy a new mattress. Many top-rated mattress brands mark down their best-selling models over the holiday weekend (and most extend their sales beyond the holiday as well). After Labor Day, you likely won't see discounts as steep until Black Friday and Cyber Monday.
