Just 56 Very Good Budget Buys
Gold Bond's firming neck and chest cream to *gently* hydrate, exfoliate, and tighten the skin that's more sensitive than the rest of your body but less sensitive than the skin on your face. This makes for a lovely, quite effective in-between formula packed with aloe, salicylic acid, and jojoba oil in a formula that reviewers say works just as well as much pricier creams. A 2-in-1 nausea relief inhaler you can even slip into your (too small) jeans front pocket to have on hand when you're feeling a little rough. Reviewers say it helps with random nausea, motion sickness, morning sickness, and just feeling quite a bit icky. Simply inhale it or rub it on the tip of your nose to enjoy the "I'm feeling better" benefits. An easy, breezy patchwork mini dress that'll be perfect for when you need to look cute but want the least amount of fabric possible touching your skin. So, um, right this minute. A cheap but incredibly effective instant foot peeling spray in case your at-home pedis aren't quite hitting or you can't make it to the salon before it's time to start wearing sandals. It'll gently remove dead skin and help moisturize cracked heels so you won't have to put off slipping your old dogs into your trusty Birks for the season. A tinted lip balm you'd SWEAR is Clinique's $25 "Almost Lipstick" Black Honey for the lovely, sophisticated hue it'll turn your lips. This is great for people who 1) always want a little lip color, 2) hate a sticky feel, and 3) love a bargain. A sturdy Pikk-It tool with sharp metal teeth that'll un-ensnare tangled hair from your vacuum cleaners, hairbrushes, and even your beloved round brush dryer. Raise your hand if you've ever broken a seam ripper cleaning a vacuum cleaner. (Meee.) Good Molecules Pineapple Exfoliating Powder made with natural rice starches and pineapple, kiwi, and papaya extracts that'll foam up and *gently* polish skin, giving you similar results to the $68 Dermalogica version. You can use it up to four times a week to see (and feel) the benefits without harsh scrubs or panicking a little bit at your Ulta total. Plus, Good Molecules Yerba Mate Wake Up Eye Gel. Reviewers swear that this works just as well as $$$ eye creams at minimizing puffiness and swelling thanks to a powerhouse duo of caffeine and hyaluronic acid. An Elizavecca hair treatment can give you "rich girl hair" thanks to its collagen and ceramide 3 formula. And it'll take just a few minutes of your time, like as little as five minutes post-shampoo. Because time is money, money is power, and power is pizza. (In case you were curious, lots of reviewers say they prefer it over $$$ Olaplex.) A set of ~flexible~ limited-edition watercolor design Band-Aids will help your bumps and scrapes look a little more painterly. Forget trying to color-match your bandages. Turn yourself into a walking art gallery! E.l.f. Lash Xtndr Tubing Mascara if you've tried pricier versions but have shied away from rebuying because of $$$. Seriously, just try this! It's so good that I'm currently on my THIRD tube. Lottabody's Coconut Oil Foaming Curl Mousse made to work on all hair types because we've officially hit peak "I'm not turning on my blow-dryer" weather, folks. A crack weeder tool that'll go where a larger weeder (and your hands!) can't. Now that you're spending more time in your backyard, you're eyeing all the little weeds and parts that need some fixing. An under-$25 cooling misting system can help you get as much time as possible outside this summer because last summer your backyard started to feel like sitting in a sauna. (Hey, at least you didn't have to look at strangers in their towels!) And a mini sprinkler pool to help the fam cool off and get some water time without having to dump out a kiddie pool's worth of water once the fun has wrapped. Catrice's Magic Shaper Face Cream Palette will help you build out and highlight your face's gorgeous assets for a mere $8 instead of $88 with a similar Makeup Forever palette. Listen, you don't have to spend a bunch of money to LOOK it. And a palette like this is gonna last you a while. A set of DEET-free handy mosquito-repelling bracelets in case the thought of putting something else on your skin besides SPF (like smelly bug repellent) sounds like a total nightmare. A jar of the The Pink Stuff — a cleaning paste made to handle all kinds of gross, stuck-on situations like that bathroom floor grout you came to terms with being dirty gray forever and even the crayon art gallery on your wall. Murdle, Volume 1, a book chock full with so many mystery-themed logic puzzles (100, to be exact) that it should be illegal. And if you're worried about blazing through this one, there are three versions! A roll of wood grain tape can serve as a "frame" on your bathroom or wall mirror to make your space feel a bit more intentionally designed — even if you inherited a bunch of someone else's design choices. A ribbed button-up tank to give you the same vibes as an Abercrombie & Fitch one for half the price. So you could double ya' want. Maybe this is what they always meant when they said transitioning your look from office to happy hour? A Lululemon-inspired tennis skirt with built-in shorts and a secret inner pocket because are you even living your best summer life if you're not claw-handing your iced coffee and phone in one hand while you wildly gesticulate as you tell your friend a story on a neighborhood walk? No need to worry about a strong breeze. A "Soft" perfume rollerball that's definitely made an appearance or five in your FYP scroll. It's only $5 and smells totally delightful (it gets compared to sweet treats like waffle cones). BUT! That's not the only reason to love it. It reminds reviewers of the $65 bottle of Pink Sugar 👀 and layers like a dream. Or a Creamy Coconut fragrance rollerball to have everyone assuming you paid full price for the $25 Sol de Janeiro fragrance. Even if your immediate plans don't entail sitting on a beach and drinking out of an actual coconut, you can still catch a whiff of the island vibe with this sweet scent. A set of satin pillowcases that'll look more luxe on your bed than the pillowcases that came with your sheet set. AND (I can vouch) that they'll leave your hair and skin more moisturized than cotton ones. Here's to keeping that blowout looking smoother for longer. Essence's Drop of Sunshine Bronzing Drops will help you fake that you spent the weekend taking in the sunshine instead of sick and holed up on your couch catching up on all the horror movies you've been meaning to watch. And at $33 cheaper than the Drunk Elephant version, you might just go ahead and invest in a second or third bottle now. Reviewers say it's super hydrating and buildable! An spaghetti strap sundress with built-in shorts (maybe "built-in shorts" is the 2025 summer mantra?) so you can reap all the benefits of a cooling sundress in the heat without having a Marilyn Monroe moment. (Reviewers say it's waaaay cheaper than one you can find at the mall.) Some sharp-looking pointed-toe flats with similar comfy, machine-washable features to pricier Rothy's or Vivaia flats. You'll be glad you packed these to get you from Notre-Dame to the Eiffel Towel on a long but gorgeous scenic view! And when you get home, you can toss 'em in the wash to look like new for your next adventure! A pair of pilot shield sunglasses for a very close look to the $699 Bottega Veneta pair. If you're on TikTok you've probably already seen these bad boys and thought about taking the plunge. It's a mere $14.99 plunge so, eh, might as well. Or some oversize square sunnies if you've been admiring the Bottega Veneta version but have such a horrible track record with keeping sunglasses in fighting shape that you can't in good conscience spend hundreds on a pair. A CZ tennis bracelet with tons of reviewers who say it can pass as actual diamonds. Listen, you want a glamorous stack but you don't have to choose between that and a long weekend at a beach resort. An intoxicating Baccarat Rouge 540–inspired Cremo Body Wash will help you smell luxe without blowing your whole beauty budget for the month. It has a blend of white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber that reviewers say stacks up to the real deal and sticks with them throughout the day. Self-Tanner for some super-easy-to-apply color that'll develop in an hour. No need to book a (costly) spray tan appointment. (Psst, reviewers who've previously sworn by St. Tropez products have made the switch!) A cherry bag charm can add a lil' razzle-dazzle to your plain bag that's just not doing it for you anymore. Just let your work nemesis assume that it's the $95 Coach charm. A cute two-piece pajama set in super soft fabric if you LOVE the look of $128 Roller Rabbit PJs but just can't personally justify spending that much money on something you wear to bed, no matter how comfy and cute it might be! A stretchy bodycon pencil dress with heaps of Skims comparisons for the shape and stretch. I'm guessing this is what Morticia Addams would wear to an all-inclusive beach resort. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones you'd mistake for AirPods Max if you weren't paying close attention thanks to the similar shape and shade options. These beauts are at a small fraction of the price (I swear, that math is easy) with good noise-blocking, 10 hours of play per charge, a built-in mic for calls, and cushy padding so you can put those extra HUNDREDS you're not spending on AirPods Max for a flight to your college roommate's wedding. An elegant set of square wineglasses that reviewers point out are VERY similar to the pricier ones sold at Crate & Barrel. Whether you're just drinking some water out of them or some actual Prosecco, they'll certainly elevate the moment. Hanes Ultimate ankle socks can pass the comfort test for fans of Aritzia's TNA line. Yes, we're at that age where socks can be luxurious. A faux-pearl choker that's a dead-ringer for a Vivienne Westwood piece you can easily add to all kinds of outfits that are missing something. Mystery solved. A tie-strap beaut in an ankle-grazing length for those moments when you've GOTTA stoop down and play with a puppy. This has you covered. A multipurpose blush stick you can try out to create the lovely watercolor blush trend. Y'know what's even lovelier? Paying $7 for this instead of the $18 Pixi Beauty version so you can build and blend color to your heart's content. A pair of satin block-heel dress shoes you'd mistake for some Loeffler Randall heels if you didn't buy them yourself! Reviewers also say that the supportive straps mean you can still make all kinds of moves. A wedding dance floor hates to see you coming. Cushionaire slides that'll help satisfy your old dogs' yearning for comfy Birks (there are 1,000+ reviews comparing them) for significantly less. E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops made to help plump up (hydrating hibiscus complex and hyaluronic acid) and brighten (niacinamide) your complexion for similar results to the $35 Glow Recipe Watermelon Dew Drops. Reviewers say it works great alone *or* mixed in with foundation. A plated ring with just a bit of glitz that'll help you channel the Cartier look without affecting your financial planning goals like the real-deal would. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume because you thought about shelling out for YSL's Black Opium but your budget said no despite all your other perfume bottles being on empty. A Briotech spray can help soothe rosacea, eczema, rashes, sunburns, and other skin irritations for when your skin is just not cooperating thanks to hypochlorous acid (it's in your white blood cells and helps soothe inflammation). Tower 28 SOS Daily Rescue Spray is also what some call a miracle in a bottle. But Briotech is in a cheaper bottle. Some ~spiral~ taper candles with a whole lot more pizzazz than the regular ones. Just remember you'll have to remind everyone you live with that these are for decoration! A clip-on light if you're in love with your patio umbrella and don't wanna shell out for a whole new one that's lit. A set of petite vintage-inspired spoons you can keep out on your kitchen countertop for when you need to stir your coffee, grab a bit of a spice, or tear into a pint of ice cream methodically. (Go ahead and dig out those chocolate chunks. I won't tell.) Olay Super Serum Body Wash has niacinamide, shea butter, and collagen peptides in a formula made to provide 24-hour hydration so you don't have to slather on tons of lotion post-shower just to avoid feeling like a dehydrated dinosaur. A knee-length halter dress available in a range of colors and prints so you'll probably wanna snag a few for all kinds of seasonal photo ops. Catrice "Instant Awake" Under Eye Brightener can be a quick, easy fix for concealing and brightening your under-eye dark circles because you don't wanna have to do a full face every single day. This "invisible" coverage oft gets compared to the $33 Becca version. E.l.f. Glow Reviver Melting Lip Balm in case your lip balm habit (and losing-your-lip-balm habit) is start to eat into your fun money. Fans of Laneige, Rhode, *and* Summer Fridays are in the reviews singing this stuff's praises. E.l.f. Soft Glam Foundation has buildable full coverage without *looking* like you put on a layer or two. (I should know, it's become my go-to!) Its satiny finish leaves you looking all dewy and has garnered some compliments from friends who see me often enough to tell the difference! After all, finding your holy-grail foundation is a JOURNEY. Might as well try the affordable, effective ones first!

Target Just Raised Its Dividend. Should You Buy TGT Stock Here?
Dividend season may be winding down, but a few heavyweight names are still stepping up with headline-worthy hikes. Retail giant Target (TGT) recently bumped its quarterly dividend by 1.8% to $1.14 per share, marking its 54th consecutive year of dividend growth and cementing its title as a 'Dividend Aristocrat' — those elite S&P 500 Index ($SPX) names with more than 25 years of uninterrupted hikes. In a market where even legacy firms are slashing payouts, this kind of consistency signals resilience that investors crave. But make no mistake, this is not the golden age of retail. Tariffs, margin pressure, and shifting consumer values have complicated the game. Target has been caught in the middle — its DEI moves triggered backlash, its assortment fell out of sync with shopper moods, and its once-shining Ulta (ULTA) partnership hit pause. First-quarter earnings undershot expectations, leaving analysts split on how fast a turnaround can come. Still, the company is recalibrating. This New ETF Promises to Help You Invest Like Warren Buffett and Yields 15% 3 Dirt-Cheap Dividend Aristocrats About to Explode Higher Buy These 3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks for Portfolio Protection Amid Israel-Iran Conflict Markets move fast. Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. With shares down double digits in 2025 but a fresh dividend hike signaling confidence, could this be the sweet spot for long-term investors to scoop up TGT stock before the next turnaround kicks in? Target has come a long way from its brick-and-mortar roots. Once known simply as a big-box chain, it's now a full-fledged omnichannel force, blending sleek stores with rapid digital fulfillment, thanks in part to its Shipt acquisition. With a market capitalization of $43.8 billion and nearly 2,000 U.S. stores, Target thrives across categories — from essentials to electronics, fashion to toys. Its owned brands, curated partnerships, and upgraded in-store experiences make it a retail standout in both convenience and style. Shares of Target have stumbled 34% over the past 52 weeks, weighed down by weak earnings, fading foot traffic, tariff uncertainty, and consumer backlash. Although TGT stock has rebounded more than 11% from its April low of $87.35, investors remain cautious, eyeing a turnaround that's still more promise than proof in a retail landscape demanding speed and precision. In terms of valuation, the stock is trading at 12.7 times forward earnings and 0.41 times sales. That's lower than both Target's industry peers and its own five-year average multiples. While markets wobble, Target holds steady, rocking its 'Dividend King' crown and paying up like royalty to loyal shareholders. The latest dividend boost extends its streak to over five decades of annual hikes. The new dividend will be paid on Sept. 1, offering a healthy 4.64% annual yield. That's well above the S&P 500 SPDR's (SPY) 1.19% and outshines the S&P Retail SPDR's (XRT) yield of 1.39%, enhancing its appeal to income-focused investors. Plus, in Q1 alone, Target returned $510 million to shareholders, edging past last year's $508 million. With a disciplined payout ratio of 54.5%, Target is dependable, having a rare blend of income, history, and sustainability in the retail sector. On May 21, Target reported disappointing Q1 earnings results, missing on both revenue and earnings, sending the stock tumbling 5%. The retail giant continues to grapple with soft consumer demand, pricing pressures, and operational inefficiencies, all of which weighed heavily on its performance and forced a downward revision to its full-year guidance. Target's adjusted EPS declined 36% year-over-year (YOY) to $1.30, missing estimates by nearly 20%. Total revenue fell 2.8% annually to $23.8 billion, with merchandise sales down 3.1% to $23.4 billion. Comparable sales declined 3.8%, hurt by a 5.7% drop in in-store traffic and a 2.4% decrease in total transactions. Digital sales, however, were a bright spot, rising 4.7%. That was thanks in part to a 36% jump in same-day delivery through Target Circle 360 and successful brand collaborations. Margins came under pressure, with gross margin narrowing to 28.2%, largely due to heavy markdowns and rising digital fulfillment and supply-chain costs. Adjusted operating margin dropped to 3.7%. Inventory swelled 11% annually as well, a clear sign of sluggish sales and ongoing misalignment between consumer demand and stock planning. Despite ending the quarter with $2.9 billion in cash, Target faces mounting pressure. CFO Jim Lee acknowledged the 'highly challenging' backdrop, citing prolonged weakness in consumer confidence, uncertainty around tariffs, and fallout from the company's revised DEI stance. In response, Target unveiled a new Enterprise Acceleration Office focused on agility, innovation, and AI-driven efficiency. Yet, despite these ambitious efforts, the company trimmed its full-year adjusted EPS forecast to between $7 and $9, down from the previous $8.80 to $9.80 range. Target also estimates a low single-digit sales decline, signaling a prolonged road ahead for recovery. Analysts tracking Target predict its profit to decline by 15% to $7.51 per share in fiscal 2025, before bouncing back with a 7.5% rebound to $8.07 in 2026. Target has a consensus 'Moderate Buy' rating overall. Out of the 34 analysts offering recommendations for the stock, eight analysts recommend a 'Strong Buy,' three analysts advise a 'Moderate Buy,' 21 suggest a 'Hold' rating, and the remaining two have 'Strong Sell' ratings. Meanwhile, the mean price target of $110.62 suggests upside potential of 12%. The Street-high target of $175 implies the stock could rally as much as 79%. Target's journey has never been smooth. But from the 2008 crash to the pandemic to today's retail unrest, the company hasn't flinched where it matters — its cash discipline. While some others cut back, Target has continued returning capital to shareholders. That kind of loyalty does not come without strong fundamentals. Through decades of disruption, Target's consistency in rewarding investors is a signal that, even in storms, this ship knows how to sail. For investors, it's a test of patience. Target may be bruised, but its dividend track record suggests the story is far from over.

Dunkin' Just Launched a New Perfect-for-Summer Item—But There's One Catch
America can now run on Dunkin'...at the beach. After already launching a summer menu that includes Melted Ice Cream Frozen Coffees, and new lip tints that you can shop at Ulta, the coffee chain has released yet another warm-weather item. If you're a fan of their famous munchkins, then this one's for you. The internet has sleuthed out the new summer 50-count munchkin buckets, which are available beginning on June, 25, 2025 according to Reader's Digest. However, per this Instagram post, the bucket has already been spotted in White Plains, New York and Southington, Connecticut. The toy is the perfect sandcastle (or foodie) companion, as it offers a shovel and sprinkle-inspired donut top decorated with Dunkin's seems that prices are varied depending on the location, ranging from $3 to $5 for an empty bucket. If you do decide to fill it with a 50-count of some tasty munchkins, the cost will range from $10 to $16. We recommend asking your local store first to see how much the pail costs in your area and if they're in stock. If they're available, you can just walk into your local brick-and-mortar and snag one for yourself. Related: Customers are convinced the buckets are going to sell out quickly, with several commenters writing that they're "way cuter than the Easter buckets." Others described the offering as "cute," with others even joking that they'll fill it with the "cinnamon pretzel bites at Auntie Annie's" or an iced coffee. Plus, when you press the bottom of the bucket into the sand, it creates the outline of a donut. Dunkin' Donuts released Spring buckets earlier this year, and are set to launch spooky Halloween buckets in the Fall. You can fill them with the chain's more classic flavors (glazed, chocolate glazed, jelly, or powdered sugar), or opt for their more seasonal options (butternut is currently available). No matter which you stock it with, you're in for a Just Launched a New Perfect-for-Summer Item—But There's One Catch first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 24, 2025
