Ahead of the Independence Day holiday later this week, certain items at the grocery store are seeing some price surging.

After his wife came home from a cruise with some other family members, Bill started looking into river cruises, but the price has him thinking twice.

Over the weekend, a video showing the difference in inflation on a purchase from 3 years ago has gone viral for the incredible amount difference.

The price that athletes pay to devote their life to becoming an Olympian is well documented. But the price for one grandma to put aside her Olympic dream and raise her family was a topic of discussion as that woman has now qualified for the 2024 Olympic Games in racewalking. It reminded us of the story of Dara Torres in swimming.

For some, the idea of relaxation can put a toll on their stress levels. Bill discussed how he relates to stresslaxing and wondered what the ideal relaxation spot is for Dave and Carmen.

Fancy foods can be pricey but the trending foods this summer may have you reaching for your wallet.

The abundance of cicadas this year has brought some interesting discussions up as some consider adding the insect to all sorts of dishes, like the one Bill found for a Cicada Caramel Chocolate Popcorn recipe.

On the sweeter side, he did share a recipe for Watermelon Salad with Grilled Halloumi.

The box office success of Inside Out 2 and hearing about the film from her daughter prompted Carmen and her husband to watch the original movie from 2015 on Saturday night.
