Subscriptions are everywhere-from software and streaming to fitness and education-but many teams still struggle to accept subscription payments smoothly.

Hot pink phone case. Green workout set. Woven tote bag. Gourmand perfume. Instead of buying the things they want the instant they see them, many people on TikTok are talking about the items out loud as a way to curb their spending.

StubHub CEO Eric Baker co-founded the company with Jeff Fluhr in 2000 while they were attending the Stanford Graduate School of Business. This was shortly after the dotcom bubble burst and NASDAQ crashed, but the pair didn't give up. "Stupid competitors went away and many of us got a real opportunity to build a lasting business after getting through that dip," he said on a Bessemer Venture Partners podcast in 2022.

On the frugal side of TikTok, the "buy it nice or buy it twice" adage is making the rounds, with creators like @christina.mychas echoing the phrase, "I'm too broke to buy cheap sh*t." In her comments, one person said, "[You should] spend like a millionaire on the things you use all the time - bed, mattress, pillow, jeans, shoes, etc." Another wrote, "In Spanish there's a saying, 'Lo barato sale caro,' which is 'the cheap turns out to be expensive,'" and it's really resonating.

Amazon has a sort of semi-hidden section full of menswear. It's not a discount store. It's not where it sells second-hand jewelry. It's just a storefront that's totally unadvertised on the main site. We're calling it the Amazon Premium Brands Outlet, but if you think of a better name... write a letter to the editor. We say premium, because it's heavy hitters like Lee, Persol, and Naadam, not because it's in the luxury category.
The massive 2,807-piece Mighty Bowser Lego set is on sale for $250 at Amazon. Normally $270, the elaborate Super Mario display model for adults is the largest Lego Nintendo set so far. Despite launching back in October 2022, The Mighty Bowser rarely receives price cuts. It's worth noting that Walmart briefly had it for $219 a couple months back, but Amazon's current deal is still noteworthy due to how uncommon discounts are for this particular Lego Super Mario set. The Mighty Bowser deal is shipped and sold directly from Amazon.

It's even become a political issue in advance of the 2026 World Cup.
