Fast Five | Walmart Earnings, Barnes & Noble Subscriptions & Why ThredUP Is Betting On Lucky 7

In this week’s Omni Talk Fast Five Podcast, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Firework, Trigo, Sezzle, and Silk, Chris and Anne:

Tried to read the tea leaves in Walmart and Home Depot’s latest earnings reports
Lauded ThredUP’s new online store, 777Thrift, where everything is on sale for under $7.
Discussed Instagram calling it quits on live shopping and what it means for Meta’s future and the future of CPG advertising
Threw more shade at Instacart for Heinen’s ending its relationship with the delivery service
And closed with a counterintuitive take on why Barnes & Noble’s new subscription program may be a stroke of genius merchandising

There’s all that, plus vegetable rationing, Patrón Margarita Generators, and everyone’s favorite made up holiday, Supermarket Appreciation Day.
