Watch The Trailer For 'Étoile'

It's evident everyone's not on board with the New York and Paris ballet companies swapping their "top talent," but it seems like the high-brow plan may be the greatest thing that happens to them. From comedic rants to the precision of the dancers, Étoile has the makings of a great series!

1. Ashley Furniture

Ashley Furniture is a solid option for those looking to mirror Amazon's prices on home furnishings. As long as the item is sold and shipped directly by Amazon, Ashley will honor the price match.

There is just one catch: the price match only applies to the advertised cost, not discounts applied at checkout. So, if Amazon offers a checkbox coupon or automatic discount during checkout, it won't count.

On the bright side, Ashley Furniture may offer you a 10% promo code for your next purchase as a goodwill gesture if you run into any price-matching issues.

2. Bed Bath & Beyond

Bed Bath & Beyond may have transitioned to being an online-only retailer, but it still offers a wide variety of home essentials for all your needs, from furniture, kitchenware, and linens to home decor and pet supplies.

Whether you're in the market for a new coffee maker or helping your teen stock up for their new college dorm room, Bed Bath & Beyond will match Amazon's prices.

3. Academy Sports

Academy Sports is a popular spot for purchasing athletic gear, activewear, and even camping tools.

It's important to note that this retailer doesn't ship to Alaska, California, or Hawaii. However, if you live in a state where Academy Sports operates, you can take advantage of its price-matching policy.

The best part? Academy Sports won't just match Amazon's price; the store goes further and beats it by 5%. This extra discount makes the store a stellar option for saving even more on your athletic and outdoor buys.

4. Dick's Sporting Goods

Similar to Academy Sports, Dick's Sporting Goods also has just about anything an athlete or outdoor enthusiast could need — like this bathing suit! And if you find a product sold directly by Amazon for a lower price, Dick's will match it.

There are just a few exceptions, including special flash sales like Amazon's Lightning Deals. Additionally, you'll need to show the live product page on your phone to an associate as opposed to a screenshot, which isn't accepted.

5. Home Depot

Home Depot may be best known for selling heavy-duty building materials and tools. But this retailer also carries home appliances, furniture, cleaning supplies, and gardening essentials.

So, if you want to tackle a DIY project, refresh your outdoor space in time for summer, or just upgrade some items around your house, head over to Home Depot, which will match Amazon's prices on identical items sold and shipped directly by the company.

6. Lowe's

Just like Home Depot, people flock to Lowe's for all of their home upgrading and decorating needs, and Lowe's will honor items priced lower on Amazon.

Keep in mind that there are some exclusions, such as open-box deals, rebates, or free offers. Even so, Lowe's price-matching policy is a great alternative for those looking to save on home improvement.

7. Target

Plenty of people already visit Target when they don't even need anything just to peruse! Why? The retailer is a one-stop shop for just about anything you may want, including art supplies, clothing, kid's toys, electronics, pet supplies, groceries, home goods, holiday decor, and more.

You might not know that Target will match the lower prices you find on Amazon, whether at checkout or within 14 days of your purchase. With this policy, you can benefit from Amazon's prices while still enjoying your Target run because let's be honest: who leaves the store with just one thing?

8. JCPenney

There's no shortage of department stores offering clothes, jewelry, beauty essentials, and home goods nowadays. So, what sets JCPenney apart is its willingness to price match against Amazon, allowing you to continue enjoying the in-store experience on a budget.

9. Nordstrom

Nordstrom is more well-known for its upscale fashion. Aside from that, it also offers a variety of home goods, jewelry, beauty products, luggage, and other accessories.

This retailer is also popular due to its excellent customer service and generous return policy. Still, Nordstrom has taken it a step further by offering a price-matching policy with Amazon, making it easier to shop for luxury items without breaking the bank.

10. Staples

Last but certainly not least is Staples. This office supply retailer offers way more than just printer paper or desk chairs. It also carries school necessities, travel essentials, electronics, and home organization tools.

Whether you're re-doing your at-home office or looking to score some high-quality stationery on a budget, Staples will match lower prices found on Amazon for identical products.

Here's A Preview Of The 'Great Big Beautiful Life' Excerpt

The excerpt starts off with Alice's POV as she's assessing Hayden's aloof nature. She says, "He can’t be as bad as he seems. And even if he is, it’s not like we’ll be spending time together," as they make their way to the Grande Lucia Resort they'll be lodging at (via Cosmopolitan).

There's an air of excitement surrounding Alice, but Hayden appears like he could care less about her enthusiasm based on these lines: "I glide back onto the mostly empty four-lane road that connects the mainland and Little Crescent and slow to a stop at a red light. Hayden’s in the next car over. He notices me too. I wave. He frowns."

While he does eventually talk to her, it's not like he's looking to be besties with his competition. From gruffly offering Alice a choice of days to interview Margaret Ives to lamenting the fact her hotel room is right next to his, Hayden doesn't seem like the kind of writer who's looking to be distracted. It could have everything to do with him feeling like he was "strung along for a month before even finding out" he and Alice would be in competition to secure the position of writing Margaret's biography.

It's apparent Alice Scott and Hayden Anderson aren't on friendly terms towards the beginning of Great Big Beautiful Life, but the excerpt Cosmopolitan's obtained paints a vivid picture of their enemies-to-lovers troupe. Though it's one of the most familiar book trends, Emily Henry refreshes it by adding the element of surprise to the novel's undertones. Lurking the two writers interactions with each other and the elusive Margaret Ives are hidden secrets that are ready to burst at their seams.
