Black Friday shopping and Rakuten

[lotus921v]

It used to be ebates, it’s a portal you click through for extra cash back.

Dermstore is 22% cash back on top of their sales right now which is great.

I’m ordering vitamin C serum from skinceuticals and a Samsung soundbar. Any other upcoming good deals than anybody has seen?

Macy‘s is 16% cash back today!

I won't buy Macy's since they closed their nearby store.
I understand that business is business, but so is mine.

Black Friday is coming up. I'd like to get ready. Can I get some help with Rakuten? I've been hearing lots about it from miles and points bloggers.

I'm concerned about adding the browser extension to my Mac. I use Safari since the guy at Apple Store told us it was more secure than Chrome.

Went to Apple Store today and asked about the browser extension. Was told since it's from the App Store it has been reviewed and passed by Apple.

Still, I don't want it watching all the log-ins to other websites that have nothing to do with shopping. Can I disable/put it to sleep/close the browser extension when I'm not shopping.

It must be obvious from this post I'm not very computer savvy.

I use chrome and use the Rakuten extension. I have it disabled most of the time. It doesn't work on Amazon anymore is why I have it disabled most of the time.

How to you temporarily disable it?

How to you temporarily disable it?

In Chrome, on the top left between the star and three vertical dots is a squiggly rectangle which is the extention tab. I click on this tab and can see Rakuten and next to this is three vertical dots which when clicked on show options including manage which I click to turn it on or off.

I use a combination of Capital One Venture card and the Capital One Shopping extension. The C1V card has a TON of shopping offers (cash back), just figure out which retailer you want and search. The Shopping extension is similar to Rakuten and others, they give you rebates on tons of retailers but you do not need a C1 card.

I'm having trouble coming up with anything I want or need.
We already have lots of gadgets, toys, and new-ish appliances.

Some new socks would be nice as I've worn holes in the old ones.
But that's about it.

Maybe try the Adidas socks. They come in six pair packs of all the same color which for me is black. They are a thin moisture wicking compression type sock that fit nice.

I have the Cap One card but I haven't installed the browser extension because my online shopping lately is all Amazon. I like that I can use the C1 cash back rewards on Amazon.

The only gadget I want is a stand mixer because I am starting to bake more after watching some YouTube bakers, a handy gadget to have. My niece works at QVC, she said they should have a good BF deal.

My last tech upgrade was a new mesh router, I got the Amazon EERO.

I held off on a stand mixer for a long time but finally broke down and bought one probably 15 years ago. It is amazing. I have a Kitchen Aid. I have bought some attachments like the grater (grate your own cheese is a minute), the meat grinder, and I even have one that sifts flour although I use it to sift powdered sugar - I am a home baker so I use it for my royal icing. I have used it for bread as well but I don't bake too much bread because then I will eat it.
