Jets' Aaron Rodgers Says 'Too Many Games Got Away From Us' During 2024 NFL SeasonThe blue screen of death looms large in the cultural mishmash of modern tech-adept consumers. The screen is a simple prompt signaling to its user that the device cannot fix whatever error has befallen it on its own. The crash of a computer could be a sign your CPU is failing after years of hard use, but hardware failing or operating unexpectedly can often come from a cybersecurity breach, too. Cybercriminals make up a huge contingent of the overall volume of theft and illicit activity affecting individuals today. The FBI's 2023 Internet Crime Report noted losses totaling more than $12.5 billion in cybercrime complaints. The figures included a 22% increase in monetary losses and a 10% rise in the number of complaints made. Cybercrime is hard to quantify in many ways, though. Aggregated figures showcase the total damage it can do, but that says nothing about the personal loss a successful phishing attack or Social Security number theft brings to your life, finances, and more. The harsh reality is that many tools cybercriminals use to access sensitive information (and thereby steal identity documents, money, or other assets) are simple and therefore relatively easy to thwart. Sophisticated attacks are part of their playbook, but in many cases the easiest approach is the best approach. No matter where a cybercriminal lands on this scale, if you're targeted, these 10 mistakes can make their job a whole lot easier. Shoring up these areas can therefore help you defend yourself against incursion with far greater success. Gatekeeping your critical information with quality passwords is a key feature in any good cybersecurity regimen. Strong passwords that include capital letters, symbols, and broken up words — if any complete words at all — can help make it more difficult for cybercriminals to gain access to your credentials. This is a feature of internet usage that virtually everyone knows, and plenty of online systems force users to introduce these kinds of security measures into their profiles as they set up accounts. Even so, around 13% of Americans use the same password for every online account they set up, and 44% of users rarely change their passwords (although about a third of internet users engage in monthly refreshes). The revolving door of alarming statistics surrounding password strength and a lackadaisical approach to securing online resources is never ending. Failing to incorporate strength-building features into your passwords makes them immensely simple to crack, and opting not to change passwords until prompted is a great way to find yourself as the victim of a cyberattack. The worst thing you can do with password management, however, is the singular use phenomenon. If a criminal gains access to a single online resource you own, they can move from account to account, accessing potentially every online tool you manage. Credit card accounts, bank logins, and investment portfolios are just the start here. Software updates are a nuisance at the best of times. A study from Carnegie Mellon University published in 2020 found that while installing an update as soon as it's released is the most optimal decision for protecting your security, participants only installed security updates 54% of the time (and 65% of those updates were delayed). Plenty of reasons contribute to users' hesitancy to install security patches and other updates when they're released. For one thing, updates have come to represent little tweaks to the user experience (subtle font changes, moved features, and sizing adjustments, for instance) that make the device feel less familiar. Kaspersky found that more than half of respondents to its survey noted a preference to wait and see if issues are reported after an update is released, while 50% also admitted to hitting "remind me later" and simply forgetting about the task as a result of their busy lifestyle. No matter your reasoning, delaying a crucial security update leaves you vulnerable to attack. These installations help shore up found problem areas in the software of your phone, tablet, or computer (among other devices). Installing updates is a routine part of any digital tool's life cycle, and delaying or opting not to integrate updated software entirely is a great way to put yourself at risk. This is a simple practice that everyone can bring into their device management routine, and it's one that can make a big difference moving forward. Backing up your digital information may not sound terribly important. Your computer probably isn't going to fail today, tomorrow, or next year, but all hardware fails eventually — often years down the line, but sometimes far sooner. There's no predicting a hard drive's long term functionality, and once a computer bites the dust it will take a professional to extract the key pieces of data that you decided not to save elsewhere, assuming that they can actually access the drive at all — it's not always possible. Backing up your data allows you to rest assured that a failure in your system won't massively impact your present and future needs. In the same way that you save your work intermittently when writing a paper for class or strive to reach a checkpoint in a video game, a data backup functions as a waypoint for retaining access to your critical information. Having a data backup isn't just about eliminating failure issues, though. Beginning in May 2017, the WannaCry ransomware attacks locked users out of roughly 230,000 computers around the world, demanding payment in Bitcoin before owners could get access to their data again. It's unclear whether those who paid the ransom were granted access to their systems, but what is certain is that a compartmented backup of your computer would allow you to simply ignore these threats, albeit through gritted teeth and a healthy dose of anger over the loss of your device. Phishing threats are far more widespread, nuanced, and dangerous than you may expect. There's even a subset of phishing attacks known as whaling because they target high value assets specifically (like corporate CEOs and senior executives or extremely wealthy individuals). In its simplest form, phishing involves unsolicited contact designed to extract some kind of sensitive data from you. You might receive a text from an unknown number or one disguised as a bank, a delivery company in your area, or a phone provider (sometimes these attacks are known as smishing ). Cybercriminals using phishing techniques are looking for a response. They might send you a link and seek to get respondents to click on it, taking them to a page of their own design that will try to capture card numbers or other sensitive details. Following these links can also expose you to secretive downloads that place malware on your system, giving the hacker access to your device. Phishing threats account for a huge volume of cybercrime today, it's the most common format and estimates suggest that 3.4 billion phishing emails are sent on a daily basis. The aim is to make off with login credentials and other details that can be used for more expansive criminal activity. By underestimating the sophistication and lengths that phishing attackers can and will go to, you make yourself vulnerable to their clandestine approaches. Part of the power that phishing has over victims is the enticing links they send. Perhaps it appears to be a juicy news story about some hot topic, or a call to action that threatens negative implications for your bank account or investment portfolio. Clicking on links that you don't fully understand or can't trust is a recipe for pain later on. Another key link feature to keep in mind is the difference between long and short links. Link shortening is a legitimate practice that helps tidy up URL components, but it can also be used to hide a malicious website in a seemingly safe and trustworthy link. The best practice for browsing the web is to always be suspicious of links that bring you anywhere you don't have a decent preconceived notion of. On the computer, if you hover your mouse over linked text it will show the link address down in the bottom corner of the browser. For instance, this article on our site about every major web browser will show up with a link beginning with the website's name. If for some reason it appeared to be directing you to a short link with just a few letters, you would be right to raise your ears a little. Taking care when following links, either in communications sent directly to you or on the internet, is a great way to ensure that you aren't exposing yourself unnecessarily to online threats. Working while on the go is a staple of the contemporary digital life, and public Wi-Fi is a big part of that. Whether you're a coffee shop writer or a sales executive who frequently flies or takes the train while compiling slides for your next presentation, working outside the office allows you to tap into inspiration wherever it might be found. However, there's a shady side to the realm of public Wi-Fi that users simply can't ignore. Because of its widespread rollout, internet users expect to see public networks in all manner of businesses, from McDonald's restaurants to department stores. Sophisticated cybercriminals prey on this expectation, and have been known to occasionally set up their own networks in coffee shops and other areas near a business that mirrors the basic layout of the commercial enterprise. If you sit down in Ted's Coffee House and see a Wi-Fi network called "Ted's Coffee," you'd be forgiven in simply assuming that the business set it up to give customers a nice additional feature. But you can't be sure that a scammer isn't behind the scenes, infecting every connected device with malware and creeping into the data contained within. If you are going to connect to a public network, try to only do so when the connection is encrypted or use a VPN to help create a bit of additional security for your system. More importantly, never use a public network to transmit sensitive data or log into an account that houses important files or information (especially if you're a single-password adherent!). Bringing news, information, and connection right to your fingertips and allowing you to pay for goods without carrying your wallet, the modern smartphone is a technical marvel. But all that technological goodness means nothing if it's not secured. While your home might sport a shared computer, the phones in your home are likely only serving individual people. You set up widgets and apps on your phone that adhere to your lifestyle needs and entertainment interests. Included in this layout is a bevy of personal applications and saved passwords that connect users seamlessly to things like their bank accounts, email folders, and workplace data. All kinds of important information is hidden within your mobile device. And if you don't secure the tool with a password, PIN code, or pattern passcode then it's ripe for the picking. If a criminal can lift your phone from a table, purse, or pocket, they have access to every bit of your sensitive data without having to do any additional work. Considering how much information is stored on cell phones today, it's no wonder why criminals target them so often. Using lock screen protection tools helps secure your personal information behind an additional wall that's typically quite difficult to crack. The webcam hack is a well-known trope in movies and television these days. Nobody will be surprised anymore to hear that hackers can gain access to a computer's camera and snoop on the activities of the person sitting in front of it (even if they don't think it's happening to them). That's why many computers built today introduce a rudimentary privacy screen into the camera's housing. Closing the physical door to the lens means that even if a hacker were able to break into your computer and turn your camera on, they won't be able see what's going on in your home. But a concrete barrier to viewing isn't the end all be all, far from it. video snooping isn't surprising, but some users might be shocked to find that even if the camera isn't actively transmitting video, it can still capture audio and send it elsewhere. Cybercriminals can therefore tap into the microphone of your computer and listen for key conversations. You might call out your credit card number to your partner when booking flights or share key insights into your life that make their way into security questions on your banking app (perhaps the name of your first pet). Disabling your microphone when it's not actively being used, and knowing that it can be accessed remotely by hackers in the first place will put you a step ahead when it comes to shoring up cybersecurity concerns in your digital life. Two-step verification is the process of layering up cybersecurity protection with practices that will (ideally) force you to use two separate devices to log into sensitive accounts. When signing in somewhere, the two-step process forces you to retrieve a code and plug it into the system. Often, this will be in the form of an email or text message, but using code generator tools can also play a role here. The basic premise holds that requiring access to another account or device in order to attain authorization to log in means that cybercriminals who have breached some aspect of your digital life (but crucially, not all of it) can't continue to weasel their way through your online accounts. Google notes that two-step verification procedures can eliminate "100% of automated bot attacks," while shoring up your protections across the board. Many people might opt to skip two-step verification tool because they add a hurdle to the process of logging in to sites and accounts that they frequent. It can be a hassle to always need to retrieve a code to get into your banking profile or log into a workplace email account. But the use of this system can massively reduce your risk of becoming a victim of cybercrime, and it's worth the extra step. Last but certainly no less pernicious, is the false belief that cybersecurity breaches and data insecurity on the whole is only an issue of large magnitude. You may think hackers only target large corporations to steal long lists of client information, but they also target thousands of consumers through phishing schemes to gain access to intimately personal and very important details. Small attacks happen every day, too, and can be just as damaging to you. If you're only on the lookout for big ticket items, you're bound to miss the smaller breaches that come your way and can inflict their own damage and pain. There's a tendency to think that only major breaches are worth protecting yourself against. In the personal sphere, this might be akin to the mindset that your bank account requires added security, by Facebook or Twitter profiles don't need this extra layer of protection. The reality is that our digital lives are messy, complicated, and overlapping. Information found in one corner of your digital identity can assist in the capture of resources elsewhere. You may have sent a picture of your credit card to a family member to use in buying something online, or shared a password in a direct message on Instagram with someone you were collaborating with. All your interactions add up, and a breach somewhere can easily transform into one that affects everything. Getting out of this mindset is critical for protecting your personal information.NBA says officials got no-call on Braun correctThe Orlando Pride capped off a nearly perfect 2024 season by winning the NWSL Championship Game over the Washington Spirit 1-0. Despite the Spirit giving the Pride everything they could handle , Orlando held on to win the title. It was a fitting end for the team’s leader, Marta , and the team that was clearly the best in the NWSL all season. The Pride opened the season with a 23-match unbeaten streak, which included two separate winning streaks of six games or more. Orlando didn’t lose a game until after clinching the NWSL Shield and the top seed in the playoffs. With just two losses all season, it was one of the most dominant seasons in NWSL history. THE BEST TEAM IN @NWSL HISTORY 🏆 pic.twitter.com/60vGL6QEiU Of course, all of that gets wiped out when the calendar flips to 2025. The Pride will have to start fresh next season, just like everybody else. The only difference is that Orlando will have a championship to defend and be the hunted rather than the hunted. Is the Pride capable of replicating this year’s success in 2025? Let’s look at what the future holds for Orlando next season. Will Marta play for Orlando Pride in 2025? The biggest question facing Orlando heading into the offseason is whether or not Marta will be back next season. After eight seasons with the club, she’s out of contract and set to be a free agent. She has made it clear that she would like to play for two more seasons at club level, although there is no assurance she will do so in Orlando. The Pride would hate to lose her after so many years of rebuilding around her . However, it’ll be up to the club to offer her a new contract and up to Marta if she wants to finish her career with Orlando or go elsewhere. MARTA IS THE MOMENT. pic.twitter.com/dVLKToqdon Orlando Pride free agency questions Besides Marta, the Pride doesn’t have to worry too much about losing key players in free agency. Key role players like Julie Doyle and Morgan Gautrat re-signed with the club before reaching free agency at the end of the season, so they will be back in 2025. Players like Duljan Evelina, Celia Jimenez, and Carrie Lawrence, none of whom played major roles in Orlando’s 2024 success, are out of contract. But other than Marta, the Pride isn’t set to lose anybody who figures to be irreplaceable. Barbra Banda could be better in 2025 Whether Marta returns to Orlando or not, it’s a safe bet that Banda will remain the Pride’s most important player. She finished second in the NWSL in goals this season and was named Championship Game MVP after scoring the game-winning goal against the Spirit. Yet, the 24-year-old could still take things to another level next season. Keep in mind that she didn’t play during the early part of the season since she signed in early March from a club in China. With a year of experience in the NWSL under her belt, Banda could be better in 2025 and should be considered an early favorite to be league MVP next year. PURE BANDA-MONIUM!!! Barbra Banda scores the opening goal in the #NWSLChampionship pic.twitter.com/5oK0B1h50m Orlando Pride defense could look the same The backline of Cori Dyke, Emily Sams, Kylie Strom, and Kerry Abello figures to be back for the Pride in 2025. That quartet started together more times than not, helping Orlando tie for the fewest goals conceded during the NWSL regular season. For her efforts, Sams was named the NWSL Defender of the Year, which is no small accomplishment with arguably the world’s best defender, Naomi Girma, as her competition. The kicker is that the 32-year-old Strom is the only player of that foursome who will be older than 25 at the start of next season. In other words, Orlando’s backline is young and already has plenty of experience playing together. That should make the Pride one of the best defensive teams in the league next season, especially with Anna Moorhouse defending the goal. Orlando’s young player to watch Aside from the youthful backline, Orlando has a few more young players worth watching in 2025. Ally Lemos, the team’s first-round pick in 2024, could strengthen Orlando’s midfield even more. She played just two seasons at UCLA before being drafted, making her one of the youngest players ever selected in the NWSL Draft. She didn’t see a ton of minutes for Orlando this season, partly because she left the Pride midseason to play in the Under-20 Women’s World Cup. Lemos helped the U.S. finish third in that tournament and seems to have a bright future. She could be a breakout star for Orlando in 2025. Can the Orlando Pride repeat as NWSL champions in 2025? The question of Orlando repeating as champs will be easier to answer once it’s clear if Marta is returning or not. However, even without the legendary Brazilian, the Pride has the makings of a championship team in 2025 with a trusted goalkeeper, a solid and proven backline, and a bonafide star like Banda leading the attack. Of course, Washington could be stronger next season, Gotham FC still has as much star power as anyone, and teams like Kansas City and Portland figure to be contenders, too. There could also be plenty of player movement in free agency. But as things stand, there is every reason to think Orlando will be a threat to repeat as NWSL champs in 2025.
New Delhi [India], December 30 (ANI): BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla accused the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) of targeting the Election Commission preemptively, drawing parallels with Congress' past allegations and suggesting that both parties foresee electoral defeats in the upcoming Delhi Assembly elections. "Congress and AAP are in a way 'Bade Miyan' and Chote Miyan'. The allegations Congress levied during Maharashtra and Haryana, the same allegations AAP is raising now...Congress did it after losing elections but since AAP can see their upcoming defeat, they are targeting the Election Commission from now itself.," Poonawalla told ANI on Sunday.

Responding to allegations made by AAP MP Sanjay Singh, Poonawalla added, "when it comes to Sanjay Singh's wife, when inquired, got to know that two people from their own family with whom they have some conflict, tried to get her name cut (from voters' list." Meanwhile, AAP MP Sanjay Singh had accused the BJP of attempting to remove his wife Anita Singh's name from the voter list, not once but twice.

"They (BJP) ran a campaign to delete the name of voters from the list. They think that let's teach a lesson to Sanjay Singh. What they have done - the New Delhi constituency from where Arvind Kejriwal is the MLA, they (BJP) gave an application to delete the name of my wife - Anita Singh from the voter list, and not just once but twice - on December 24 and 26," Singh told ANI. A day earlier, former Delhi Chief Minister and AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal accused the BJP of carrying out "Operation Lotus" in the New Delhi constituency since December 15 to manipulate the electoral list by deleting voters' names. Notably, New Delhi is Kejriwal's constituency, and he has served as its MLA since 2015. "In my New Delhi assembly constituency - their (BJP) 'operation Lotus' has been going on since December 15. In these 15 days, they have filed an application for the deletion of 5,000 votes and the addition of 7,500 votes. Why there is a need to conduct elections if you are manipulating approximately 12 per cent of total voters in the assembly? A kind of 'game' is being going on in the name of election," Kejriwal told reporters. The Assembly polls in Delhi are expected to be held in early 2025. AAP won 62 out of the 70 seats in the 2020 assembly elections and BJP secured eighth seats.

Shoppers slam supermarkets after Easter Eggs go on sale in stores across the UK - just days after Christmas By EDD DRACOTT Published: 00:54 GMT, 30 December 2024 | Updated: 01:28 GMT, 30 December 2024 e-mail View comments Christmas is only just over and the bells on New Year haven’t even tolled yet. Yet supermarkets are already stocking up for Easter - to the bemusement of shoppers. With Easter Sunday falling on April 20 next year, customers shared their confusion on social media after finding chocolate eggs and hot cross buns already for sale in shops including Morrisons , Co-op, Tesco and Asda . They’ve also been put out on the shelves in the Co-op in Beith, Ayrshire and in Morrisons in Witham, Essex One user, @Jingle1991, shared an image of Malteser Bunnies in Sainsbury’s on Christmas Eve and pointed out: ‘Jesus hasn’t even been born yet. Meanwhile, Gary Evans from Margate shared a shot of Creme Eggs on display in Morrisons in Margate on Boxing Day. ‘I just think its crazy that everything is so superficial and meaninglessly commercial...

Joseph Robinson found Easter confectionery including Cadbury Mini Eggs, and themed Kit-Kat and Kinder Surprise products at his local Morrisons in Stoke-on-Trent on Friday evening.

One user described the frenzy as 'meaninglessly commercial' Easter chocolates on sale on Boxing Day in Morrisons, Stoke-on-Trent ‘It’s funny as they’ve not even managed to shift the Christmas chocolates off the shelves yet and they’re already stocking for Easter,’ the 35-year-old admin support said. ‘I wish that Supermarkets weren’t so blatantly consumerist-driven and would actually allow customers and staff a time to decompress during the Christmas period.’ Asked if he was tempted to make a purchase, Mr Robinson added: ‘As a vegan it holds no appeal to me.’ Mike Chalmers, a devout Christian from Chippenham, Wiltshire, was slightly less critical after spotting a display titled Celebrate This Easter With Cadbury. ‘Christmas and Easter are the two centre-points of the Christian good news story so it’s no bad thing to see the connections,’ the 44-year-old said. ‘It’s about more than shapes of chocolate though.’ Marketing consultant Andrew Wallis admitted he was surprised to see Easter eggs in the Co-op in Kilgetty, Pembrokeshire, but added it also illustrates ‘forward-thinking’ from big businesses. Some consumers wish stores would give people time to 'decompress' after Christmas before starting on the next batch of seasonal merchandise Others suggested that the early anticipation of Easter sales was not offensive religiously given the connection between the spring festival and Christmas Lindt and Cadbury Easter bunnies on sale at a Morrisons store in Margate Read More Outrage as Tesco and Co-op start stacking the shelves with EASTER EGGS on Boxing Day ‘It made me reflect on how big brands are always thinking ahead and planning early,’ said the 54-year-old from the Isle of Man, who provides marketing advice to the fitness industry. ‘My message to retailers would be: while planning ahead is important, it’s also essential to be mindful of consumer sentiment. ‘Some might feel it’s too early for seasonal products like this but others might see it as a sign of forward-thinking. ‘Striking the right balance is key to keeping customers happy.'

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nyesom Wike, has fired back at the former governor of Rivers state, Dr Peter Odili, saying “an elder statesman should not be a trader and a sycophant all the time.” Wike, who was speaking at the Special Thanksgiving Service organised by Speaker of the Rivers State House of Assembly, Hon. Martin Chike Amaewhule, at the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion), Oro-Igwe/Eliogbolo Archdeaconry Church of the Holy Spirit, Eliozu Parish, Port Harcourt, Sunday, said it was unfortunate that somebody who is supposed to be seen as an elder statesman and called a father could reduce himself to a sycophant and a trader. He asked; “Must you be a trader all the time? As governor for eight years, what else are you looking for?” The minister said; “You know, I didn’t want to say anything but somebody called me last night, and told me what someone said in the social media. I said until I read it myself. This morning, I read in the newspapers, what our former Governor, Sir Dr Peter Odili said. “What did he say? He said that the present governor has been able to stop one man who wanted to convert Rivers State to his personal estate. “Between him and myself, who has turned Rivers State to his personal estate? His wife is a Chairman of Governing Council, his daughter is a commissioner, his other daughter is a judge and he is the general overseer. Who has now turned Rivers State to his private estate? I am sure if care is not taken, if there is a chance, he can even arrange a marriage for the governor. “It was his nephew, his late senior brother’s son that was recommended for commissioner. He took the slot and gave it to his own daughter. Someone who didn’t remember to stand for the son of his late elder brother, is that an elder statesman?” Speaking further, the FCT minister said it was painful that Dr Odili, out of political sycophancy, has forgotten all that he said in the past, adding that; “All of you here remember when I was governor, this same Odili praised me to high heaven. In fact, he said then that all past governors in Rivers State combined did not do better than me. “In 2007 after he left office, he couldn’t come near power in the State because Amaechi was the governor then. He was gone! “Like somebody said that God will use someone to lift up someone. When I came in as governor in 2015, I won’t use the word resurrected, but I brought him back to life. “All of us know about PAMO University. But for us, there wouldn’t have been anything called PAMO University. Rivers State was sponsoring 100 students per session and for every semester, each of the students was paying nothing less than N5m. Then, Rivers people were attacking me up and down. “I personally called Julius Berger to build a mansion for him to live. He was calling everyone to the house then, telling them, come and see what Wike has done for me. Wike has shown me love. He was taking them round the house. “Now, because you have organised a Christmas Carol for the governor, I didn’t say you should not do your Christmas Carol. But why reduce yourself to such a laughing stock? People will still see it on television how he was telling the whole world then how God used me to bring him back to life politically. “Why not do your Christmas Carol, collect what you can collect and leave me alone? “The governor that all of us made has not spent one year in office and the same Odili was already saying that the governor has beaten the records of all the past governors of Rivers State. “When I was there, he said I had surpassed the records of all the past governors, including himself. What can he even show that he did in his eight years as governor? But a governor has not spent one year, you are saying he has done more than all the past governors. “You spent eight years as governor and someone who hasn’t spent one year has surpassed your records, what manner of elder talk like that? Is that what an elder statesman should be known for? “When I was governor, my pictures were everywhere in his house. Sitting room, bedroom, kitchen, even in the toilet, my picture was everywhere. But today, all the pictures have been removed.” Asking what can be learned from such a sycophantic elder statesman, Wike said; “What can I learn from this kind of elder? What kind of advice can one get from him. This moment you are saying something, the next moment you are saying something else. “You see, if your children begin to ask you, is this not the same man you were praising before? What would you tell them?” On the state governorship issue, the Minister asked; “When I was plotting who will be governor after me, was he (Odili) there? Then, he was complaining about this governor, saying that he couldn’t stand before the public to talk. But today, he is organising a Christmas Carol for the same governor he was against then. “He has forgotten all that he said in the past. ‘I named this after you, I named that after your wife.’ What have I not done? “You said we should not be part of the government, we have left. We are managing, you have taken assembly money, they are not dying of hunger and they will not die of hunger. We are okay. I’m focusing on my job in Abuja and all this sycophancy won’t take him to the level I have attained. “This is a man who wanted to run for president then, he didn’t have the balls, he chickened out. Simply because Obasanjo said no, he will not contest, he ran away. Because of him, I never invited Obasanjo to Rivers State to commission projects. I felt it would humiliate him.”
IT’S just days until the end of 2024 and Dollar Tree is offering party essentials at a great price. The foil balloons are ideal for shoppers looking to decorate their homes to celebrate New Year’s and the discount chain is selling them at an incredible $1.25 each. They’re available in festive gold and silver , so will match a wide variety of color themes and décor. “Plus, sturdy foil material holds helium longer than latex balloons and is not easily popped,” according to the retailer’s website. Dollar Tree will inflate the balloons when purchased and if bought online, shoppers simply need to take them to their local store for filling. The website advises customers to speak to the store manager beforehand to ensure enough helium is available. Read more on Dollar Tree A copy of the purchase receipt is also required in order to have the balloons inflated. SHOPPER FEEDBACK Dollar Tree customers are pretty impressed with the gold balloons. “I used the star balloons in a center piece for a red carpet theme. It was much cheaper to buy them from the Dollar Tree than to purchase them through an event supplier,” said one shopper. Meanwhile another wrote: “I had my brother stop purchase some star foil balloons for my daughter’s birthday party on Nov 13th. Most read in Money “Deciding I would throw them away when they lost their float, I kept them in her room. I am amazed because some are STILL floating after 2 months!!” And a third said: “Bought 50 of these brilliant gold star balloons for a Cruise Ship-themed New Year's Eve party. “Ordered online and picked them up at my local store inflated to decorate table centerpieces. Beautiful!” The silver shade is also a favorite among shoppers. “Service was excellent. These are still inflated and flying high almost two weeks later. They were a great addition to our party decorations,” said one. Another wrote: “I purchased 20 of these and 40 of other colors for a graduation party. Despite the name of the store, Dollar Tree recently added items that cost more than $1 to its inventory. Most items at the store cost no more than $1.25, but items in the Dollar Tree Plus section cost up to $5. Dollar Tree introduced Plus aisles to 100 locations in 2019 as part of an effort to diversify its products. By 2022, Dollar Tree had added the items to over 1,500 locations. "We believe testing additional price points above $1 for Dollar Tree products will enable us over time to expand our assortments, introduce new products and meet more of our customers’ everyday needs," president and CEO Michael Witynski said in a statement . "Our brand promise is that customers get great value for what they spend at Dollar Tree. We will continue to be fiercely protective of that promise, regardless of the price point." “Store did an excellent job of having them ready for me. Balloons stayed up for two weeks! Incredible!” FAB FINDS The discounter is known for its low prices, especially on dupes for higher-end items. Shoppers praised a budget breakfast favorite , Toast-em Pop-ups that were selling for just $1.25 over the holidays . This was a big saving on the $2.62 cost of Strawberry Frosted Pop-Tarts from Walmart . Beauty fans have also been raving about Power Stick Body Spray , the Brazilian Mist fragrance in particular. It gets an average rating of 4.9 out of five from reviewers on the retailer’s website and again costs just $1.25. Another beauty buy wowing shoppers is the b-pure lip contour kit , which one fan swears is a dupe for a celebrity must-have that retails for $35. @kimnuzzolo posted a video showing her $1.25 find on TikTok .
