Shopping – one list per store Walmart, Costco, Trader Joe’s, pharmacy – whatever you actually shop at. Bonus: share...

Hey, Reader! Your phone is winning. It pings, it glows, it steals hours you’ll never get back. Here are the four moves that actually work in 2025. I’ve used every one of them for years.
