Many online stores use automated abandoned-cart email reminders.

Step 1: Make sure you login to the store before putting the item in your cart so they have your email. ​

Step 2: add items to cart then close the browser window. ​

Step 3 wait for the emails:​

Day 1: “You left something behind”

Day 2: “Still thinking about it? Act now before it's gone!"​

Day 3: “Here’s x$/% off discount code to use on your purchase.”

Not guaranteed, but if the item isn’t time-sensitive or likely to sell out, waiting w-3 of days can sometimes save you money for doing absolutely nothing.

I have a LOT of experience doing this and I find it more often than not. The last three were:

$20 discount and free shipping for a $50 purchase (so paid $30 in total) ​at ladcollective

$150 off a $650 pair of XR glasses +lip balm from Amazon

$320 off a bunch of kitchen items from Amazon *(I'm thinking maybe the number of items from different stores all acculturated) *

Been trying to figure out how to get rid of mice for about three months now and nothing is working. Tried snap traps and peppermint oil, still hearing them every night. We're in an older house in Ohio so I know there's probably gaps somewhere but I don't know where to start.

I accidentally got turmeric powder while cooking on my official transparent case for my iphone Air and now its basically stuck on it, what are the ways i can remove it completely

It looks yellow

Can i dip it in some formula? It has the magsafe rings so im scared it will ruin the wireless charging capability

Salesman for a big cell phone carrier showed me this because I wanted to keep my S24 to give to someone, while still using my upgrade to get a new phone for free or near free.

Simply pull the list of phones you carrier will give you credit for. In my instance it was the Samsung S20 FE. My carrier will give me $900 credit for this phone(T Mobile). I can buy this phone refurbished for $130 ar Walmart. So I did.

I completed the trade. Spent $130 for an S26. I kept my S24 which will be going out of country to someone in need.

i have to wear this shirt for work and it technically fits, but when i lift my arms, the shirt lifts with me and doesn’t settle back down. can i use hair conditioner and warm water to manually stretch it out when it’s 65% polyester or will it just revert?

This has helped me solve the "what if I need to wear this somewhere" question that makes me prone to hanging onto things.

About a month ago I was at the gas station and I realized I overfilled my gas can and a bit leaked into my trunks carpet.

I have aired out my car for hours, washed the area down with hot water and dawn dish soap and used baking soda and let it sit. It temporarily makes it better, but it seems to come back especially with the AC sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice for this? Google told me to let the car air for 24 hours and leave the baking soda that long but I can’t leave my car that long. On top of it, I have to close my garage at night so I can’t let it completely air out.

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I used to put a piece of tape around wrapping paper after using it, but it always left a mark or damaged the paper when I removed it.

Now I just use binder clips on the ends of the roll. They hold the paper in place without damaging it, and I can easily remove them when I need to use the paper again.

Such a simple thing, but it makes storing wrapping paper much easier.

what about you..

I’ve a bunch of hair oils/sprays and skin moisturizers that have been opened but used like once or twice. Any tips for what I can do with these other than just throwing them away?

Blackout curtains, AC, melatonin?

Something that has helped me recently is sleeping on the bare floor. No idea why but it's really helped my quality of sleep but I still only get about 5 hours.

I'm going on about 12 months with only 3-6 hours of sleep per night.
