It pays off for stores and brands, as shoppers spent $6 billion in the checkout area at stores last year, according to market research firm IRI.

Biden administration officials have been warning for weeks that the country has spent nearly all the money in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that was dedicated directly to COVID-19 response. A small pool of money remains, and the administration faces critical decisions about how to spend it. That means tough decisions, like weighing whether to … [Read more...] about US sees risk of COVID supply rationing without more funds
