Rant: I quit chasing every 20% off code and just use one cashback app now

Spent 3 hours last Black Friday stacking promo codes for a $40 blender and saved $4, now if Honey or RetailMeNot doesn't pop a code in 10 seconds I just buy the thing. Anyone actually found a code site that isnt just selling my email?

Been there, wasted way too many hours for nothing.

Mia, the trick is to stop caring about saving $4. That's the whole game. I set a rule for myself: if it takes more than 30 seconds, I'm out. No browser extensions, no opening five tabs, no making a new email just to get 10% off. I keep one card that gives me cash back on everything and that's it. The $4 you save isn't worth 3 hours of your life, and half those code sites are just farming your inbox anyway.
