1. A Costco Shopping Hack

Here’s a little shopping psychology for you: eat that famous $1.50 Costco hot dog before you shop, not after.

Studies show that shopping on a full stomach makes you less likely to toss junk food or impulse buys into your cart.

Translation? You’ll save money, eat healthier, and feel proud walking out with only what you actually need. A hot dog that saves you cash? That’s a win-win.

2. The Blackjack Secret Nobody Uses

If you ever find yourself at a blackjack table, here’s a little-known trick: you can ask the dealer what the best move is.

Most dealers are trained in the official “basic strategy”, the math-backed way to play each hand for the best odds. And yes, they’re actually allowed to tell you!

Next time, instead of guessing, ask. Not only will you learn quickly, but you’ll also play smarter. The house might not love it, but your wallet will.

3. Free Water on the Go

Need water during a walk, run, or long day out? Head into any Starbucks and ask for a cup of tap water.

It’s free, and here’s the kicker: Starbucks triple-filters their water, so you’re getting some of the cleanest, crispest hydration out there.

Skip the overpriced bottled water, hydrate for free, and keep moving with energy. Sometimes, the best things in life really are free.
