6 Luxuries To Give Up This Summer If Tariffs Are Wrecking Your Budget

While it has been challenging to keep up with which tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump are in effect on what trading partner and when, the undeniable result is that many companies have raised prices on everything from food and clothing to hotels and other leisure related goods. Find Out: Read Next: If your budget is suddenly tighter as a result and you're looking at your summer plans and purchases with a more critical eye, here are some suggestions for some summer luxuries to pare back on if these tariffs are wreaking budget havoc. (Hint: If the word 'imported' or 'designer' is involved, scale back.) Who doesn't love a charcuterie board for a summer meal — you don't have to cook and you can bring it to an event looking like you worked all day in the kitchen. Unfortunately, some of the fruits and cheeses that look best on such a board are going to be facing price hikes right now. Instead, look for local deals from farmer's markets. Learn More: A lot of people have been learning the hard way that their favorite designer brands are often having their merchandise made in China, keeping it somewhat affordable. As a result, if you love a good pair of designer sunglasses, this is not the summer to get a new pair. Make good with the ones you have or pick up a less fancy pair for a better price. Apparel is one of the consumer areas hit hardest by the tariffs, since the vast majority of what Americans wear on their bodies and feet is made overseas. So slow your roll on a fashion-forward bathing suit that comes from a cute little boutique and look to the places that can still cut deals, like TJ Maxx or Ross Dress for Less. If summer is a time when you pad yourself with the accoutrements of fitness since you can spend more time outdoors, you might want to rethink that, too. Smartwatches and Fitbits may be more expensive than usual. Look into refurbished, secondhand or stick with what you've got until prices level off. You don't have to stop drinking wine or spirits, but you might find it's a lot pricier to buy your favorites if they're coming from overseas. Scotch whisky, French or Italian wine, even spirits made in Canada and Mexico may now cost you a lot more than you were hoping to spend. Alternately, it's a great time to indulge more in nonalcoholic treats. If you're traveling this summer and love to pick up souvenirs wherever you go, you might want to think twice about carrying home armloads to your friends and family. A single memento to help you commemorate the trip might be enough, or perhaps your photos and memories will suffice.

Wichita Falls police arrest Dallas man accused of multiple thefts

WICHITA FALLS (KFDX/KJTL) — A Dallas man faces a felony charge for allegedly stealing from or attempting to steal from several shops in Wichita Falls. On Monday, June 9, at 3:56 p.m., Wichita Falls police were sent to the 3100 block of Midwestern Parkway at Metro by T-Mobile for a man who had reportedly entered the store and attempted to steal a phone. When the officers arrived, they spoke with the manager, who said a bearded black man in a black shirt was in the store, hanging around the iPhones. The manager said when he walked away from the suspect, the man tried to steal the display phone, but he was unsuccessful and left the store to the west. Police said that while they were checking the area, they were informed about the same man allegedly stealing a display phone from the Verizon store in the 3200 block of Midwestern Parkway, Suite 100. Officers said they spoke with the manager, who provided the same description of the suspect as the previous manager. This time, the suspect is alleged to have entered the store, pulled a Samsung Galaxy A16 display cell phone from the mount, and left the store. The phone was valued at $199.99. Officers said they were then waved down by someone who reported the same man described in the two previous incidents allegedly attempted to steal money from the register at Jimmy John's, located in the 3200 block of Midwestern Parkway, Suite 300. Police said they spoke with the employees, who reported the man attempted to take money from a customer who was placing a catering order. Still, the customer stated the suspect did not receive any money. Officers said they found a man matching the description, who was carrying a black and white Nike backpack, walking westbound in the 4000 block of Call Field Road. Police said they attempted to coax the man to come to them, but he continued walking away from them. When the man was threatened with a taser, police said the man stopped walking, was placed in handcuffs and identified as Glenn Earl Thrash II by his driver's license. Authorities said the backpack he was carrying had a TJ Maxx price tag and security tag still attached, and he was also carrying a new Father's Day gift bag full of merchandise. Officers went to TJ Maxx to confirm the items were stolen, and police said store associates told them they saw Thrash pick up the Nike backpack and fill it with merchandise. They alleged he also took a Father's Day gift bag and filled it with merchandise. The TJ Maxx manager said the total value of the items taken was $193.89. When officers attempted to place Thrash in a police unit, they stated that he refused and had to be pulled in by an officer from the other side of the unit. Thrash was charged with theft of property over $2,500 with two or more convictions, resisting, and evading. A records check of Thrash shows he has two previous robbery convictions from 2024, both in Dallas County. At the time of publication, Thrash is still in jail with bonds totaling $54,000.

TJ Maxx and Ilona Maher Team Up to Launch "You Sponsored by TJ Maxx": A First-of-its-Kind Initiative to Sponsor True Original Women

Alongside powerhouse Co-Sponsors Jen Atkin, Carly Cushnie, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Chloe Flower and Ilona Maher, TJ Maxx aims to unlock new opportunities and help open doors for 10 deserving women FRAMINGHAM, Mass., June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, TJ Maxx (NYSE: TJX) is taking center stage as the official sponsor of True Originals—women who are boldly and authentically themselves—with the launch of You Sponsored by TJ Maxx, a groundbreaking new program that brings dynamic sponsorships to everyday women for being exactly who they already are. From sports arenas to social feeds, sponsorships are ubiquitous – yet for so many everyday women, this kind of support remains out of reach. In fact, a recent TJ Maxx survey revealed a striking disparity: fewer than 10% of women currently have a sponsor backing them, despite 75% of women believing it would help them embrace their authentic selves. That's why TJ Maxx is doing something about it. Experience the full interactive Multichannel News Release here: This new model of sponsorship will award 10 women custom deals designed to amplify their unique voices and fuel their next moves by unlocking assets in three distinct categories: opportunity, connections, and visibility. To do so, each recipient will be paired with one of five game-changing Co-Sponsors who embodies the magnetism and authenticity of a True Original and offers expertise spanning athletics and arts to fashion and entrepreneurship. Meet the incredible Co-Sponsors who are re-writing the rules and cheering on the next wave of True Originals: Ilona Maher: powerhouse rugby player with a whole lot of game. Jen Atkin: from red carpets to boardrooms, a beauty trailblazer turning glam into a movement of community and creativity. Carly Cushnie: designer, stylist, and visionary redefining luxury across fashion and interiors. Chloe Flower: piano prodigy and style disruptor making space for the next generation to shine. Renée Elise Goldsberry: award-winning artist using voice and vision to break boundaries on every stage. "Finding sponsor-level support early in my career wasn't easy, so I carved my own path where I prioritized always staying true to myself – and guess what? Success followed," said Ilona Maher. "As a lifelong Maxxinista, I'm proud to be a part of You Sponsored by TJ Maxx, where we get to help other women who don't fit into a mold make an impact doing what they love and—in doing so—redefine why sponsorship matters." The You Sponsorships are designed to actively champion and create opportunities for recipients through three key pillars that help propel them forward. Each makes up a unique range of assets that sets sponsorship apart, including: Opportunity: Land $20,000 in funding to help back their next big move and champion more of what makes them a True Original, whether it's getting certified in a new skill, launching a business, or taking to the stage. Connections: Get a 1:1 sit-down with their Co-Sponsor to help uplift their ambitions and ideas, then receive introductions to more women in her expansive network that will help open even more doors. Visibility: Tell their stories on TJ Maxx social channels, tapping into the millions of followers to activate their message, mission, and more. Plus, they'll even get a social shoutout from their Co-Sponsor! "At TJ Maxx, we believe in the power of True Originals, women who have this magnetic confidence and optimism, inspiring others to stay true to themselves by being exactly who they already are," said Christina Lynch, Vice President, Marketing Director at TJ Maxx. "With You Sponsored by TJ Maxx, we're championing these very women by expanding the definition of sponsorship and broadening who it can benefit. Our goal is to continue uplifting even more game-changing women, celebrating their individuality, and making self-expression something they never have to compromise on." For nearly a decade, through the Maxx You Project, TJ Maxx has provided tools and resources to help women be their true selves – their maxx selves. This year, with long-time partners Dress for Success® and Save the Children, the brand will continue to support women and caregivers across the country through visibility, connections, and new opportunities.
