Those small appliance deals at Kohl’s are amazing! If you buy a lot and can afford to float the money before the rebate comes (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 combine 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!
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! 💞🤗
Thank you!
You’re welcome! ❤️
