> Couples saying 'I don't' to expensive weddings Edited by USA TODAY. Moving on National and Lifestyle wires. By OLIVIA BARKER USA TODAY Heather Strickland fashioned her bridal bouquet from wholesaled pink roses. Ashley Butler and Kevin Cohea catered their own cheese and veggie plates for their wedding reception - with the help of Sam's Club. And Tina Czech is planning her big day for the holidays, when her local church already will be outfitted with glittering trees and more than 300 poinsettias. Whether out of propriety or necessity, weddings are being tweaked - if not turned upside down - by the recession. These days, couples who can spring for six-figure weddings are re-prioritizing their wish lists to strike a more sensitive, subdued tone - trading, say, the $200 monogrammed iPod party favor for something less showy, like a monogrammed cookie. 7/21/2009
> SAM'S CLUB; What Women Want Today: Sam's Club and Working Mother Teamed Up to Ask Moms 'What's On Your Mind?'

> Warehouse Club Face-Off: The Overall SavingsBeyond the bulk food, cavernous shopping spaces and almost guaranteed savings (consumers save an average of 30% per item at warehouse clubs, according to a fall 2008 study by industry publication Warehouse Club Focus), warehouse clubs like Sam's Club, Costco and BJ's do have some distinct differences. And that could mean a big difference in savings for shoppers. While the most obvious disparity is the annual membership fee -- $50 at Costco, $45 at BJ's and $40 at Sam's -- in-store prices and policies play an even bigger role when it comes to your bottom line at checkout. That's why it's important to compare prices on the items you need most frequently. A gallon of skim milk at Sam's Club, for example, costs $1.88, while Costco charges $2.29. 7/9/2009
> Walmart, Sam's Club and Arkansas Children's Hospital: Making miracles togetherMiracles happen every day at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Infants and children from all over Arkansas and surrounding states receive care in a place that is designed just for them. Miracles also happen every day at Walmart and Sam's Club locations as, dollar by dollar, associates and their customers raise millions to support the work of ACH. Through corporate sponsorship of the Children's Miracle Network, Walmart and Sam's Club associates raise awareness and money for 170 children's hospitals in the U.S. and Canada. For Arkansas Children's Hospital, that means that more than 140 locations in Arkansas, northern Louisiana, eastern Texas and eastern Oklahoma are engaged in grass-roots fundraising efforts that have raised more than $18-million over the past 25 years. In 2008, Walmart and Sam's Club locations in the hospital's CMN market raised more than $1 million for ACH. The money will directly benefit children served by ACH by supporting an endowed chair in neonatology. 7/9/2009

> Large grocers, wholesalers appeal to Latinos After moving to the U.S. 10 years ago, Juana Carabarin still wanted to cook Mexican food for her family but often didn't have time to go to specialty shops for the ingredients. Now the Publix grocery in Norcross, Ga., near her home carries products used in Mexican cuisine including corn husks for tamales, chilis in the spice aisle, chorizo and queso fresco in the refrigerator case and some branded items. And she no longer has to make do with stand-ins. Several major chains are expanding their specialty offerings to capture business from Latinos, the country's fastest-growing population and already almost one-sixth of the U.S. total in 2008. Other retailers are opening new stores that target Hispanic shoppers. 6/15/2009
