    Those small appliance deals at Kohl’s are amazing! If you buy a lot and can afford to float the money before the rebate onlinees (which can be a WHILE), you can almost make money on those deals. We have a food pantry at work, so I try to get lots of small appliances to donate. If I do the math right, I can usually get enough money back via rebates, Kohl’s Cash, and Rakuten to make them free or even a little bit of a moneymaker.

      Such a great idea to grab those small appliance deals to donate to the food pantry, Amy! Thanks for sharing how you onlinebine the sales and rebates to make them even cheaper! 🥰

    I have a Kindle (Fire Max 11) in my Amazon cart right now and it is 33% off and says Black Friday Deal. In your experience, could the discount go even deeper on Black Friday or Cyber Monday? Thanks!

    • Amber (Hip Sidekick)

      Great question. It’s hard to say, as Amazon deals can change up so quickly. I do see that is the lowest price it has been. Hoping that might be helpful! 💞🤗
