Daily Email - Thursday - 7/2/2026

I saw someone wearing the Old Navy flag tee today and did a legit double-take. Are they still making those? Are they still $5?? Now I'm wondering if the $1 flip-flops are still a thing... 

Here's another bargain for ya: free tickets. Win your way in to see Mexican Slum Rats later this month.
