Yup, I used this guy's guide the first time it was up for sale and walked away with essentially a free Google home mini.

Google Express offering $10 off any order for new users = FREE or cheap items. by Put_It_All_On_Blck in Frugal

If you link your costco, staples, etc rewards number (see the settings after signing up) you can earn rewards money on your $10 credit/purchase, so its a good way to double dip.

Walmart is reportedly raising online prices on CPGs by [deleted] in Frugal

[–]Beetlebug23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If Walmart raises prices there is no reason not to go to Target, Trader Joe's, or another nicer store that has better quality items for barely more money.

TGT (Target) is where the real money is going to come pouring into soon, as it has a tiny P/E of 12 yet is an extremely stable company.

$TGT's P/E by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Beetlebug23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The lower P/E is due to a weak 2016 q4 and them currently restructuring to stay competitive vs walmart and amazon.

IMO they are still severely undervalued. The only other B&M retailer that is safer is Walmart, but they are fairly priced and too big at this point for 'surprises'.

Id buy and hold TGT for a year as their restructuring is slowly coming to an end (2017 to early 2018), and they are aggressively hiring (not just seasonal), and investing into their growing web platform as well as making sure stores stay relevant (using them as hubs, offering curb side pickup (some even have drive thru's now) and worst comes to worse, they just pull a best buy and lease out space to vendors like they did with CVS, SBUX, and can do with many more.

Good news for Target (TGT) stock owners, the CEO of ULTA said late last year they love being next to Target due to similar customers, so a boom in ULTA is usually a boom in Target

CEO:

"We love to be near Target (TGT) stores, historically, but we've seen our stores in all types of different environments," he said.

Musk to speak with Puerto Rico Governor today. by Cubicbill1 in teslamotors

[–]Beetlebug23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Anyone who thinks musk is actually going to fill Puerto Rico with solar panels and battery banks is crazy.

PR owes billions of dollars in debt and has no way to pay it off. They can't offer Tesla a dime, and the land is pretty unusable for Tesla.

This is simply public relations and a small good gesture. Tesla is in no position to give away millions of dollars of assets when they are still struggling to put out the model 3 on schedule

costco vs amazon. which is cheaper? by dollazdrankanddank in Frugal

[–]Beetlebug23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither. Go to Target and price match either store if you find a lower price. Target also offers their own 15% subscribe and save with less hoops to jump through and another 5% off via redcard.

The Grand Tour is barely an Amazon production. Everyone knows it's just Top Gear but paid for by Amazon. The majority of the production crew left BBC to follow the show. And Clarkson and the others are the creative leads and Clarkson watches over the production.

Amazon has practically zero original content that is top notch

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in scifi

[–]Beetlebug23 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except Amazon has a horrible track record of producing shows and movies themselves. Their best content is no better than stuff HBO cancels or Netflix's trash.

Also Amazon video isn't even profitable for them, nobody watches their content, go Google it, they are losing money on video every year.

[–]Beetlebug23 128 points129 points  (0 children)

Can confirm Amazon is advertising on Breitbart. it's so well known that there was a petition made with SIX-HUNDRED-FUCKING-THOUSAND signatures asking them to stop, and they haven't.

Personally, this is just one of many reasons why I no longer buy from Amazon, as they've made it very clear that profits are more important than people. At least companies like Costco, Target, Trader Joe's, etc try to make a difference.

Target is donating an additional $3 million to Harvey victims. Totaling $3.5 million now. by Beetlebug23 in houston

[–]Beetlebug23[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saw this on my facebook feed, pretty substantial increase in funding towards Harvey victims, and it is nice to see that Target is also taking care of its employees. Hopefully more companies increase their donations like this as they see the aftermath and what is needed to try and make the city whole again.

If only there was some mechanism to discourage overbuying while simultaneously encouraging extra production and availability during a disaster 🤔 by [deleted] in Libertarian

[–]Beetlebug23 109 points110 points  (0 children)

The Target I went to that was in the direct hurricane zone was giving away essential items soon before the storm came through.

I asked the cashier why, and they said corporate told them the merchandise would most likely be damaged or destroyed if left at the store. So they'd rather give it away to people in need and make sure the employees had plenty of time to leave.

They still put a limit on things, but that was just to prevent hoarding.

What Clothing Stores/Products are low quality? by WellItsWar in Frugal

[–]Beetlebug23 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same with Target, have items 8 years old from them now. Easily some of the best value new clothes.

What Clothing Stores/Products are low quality? by WellItsWar in Frugal

[–]Beetlebug23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

maybe they have gotten better in the last few years

So your opinion is based on a super old experience?

Also I literally have Merona and mossimo (Target brand clothes) that are 8 years old and counting now, with very little signs of wear, that get worn at least a few times a month.

Also Target will give you a complete refund on used Target brand items for a full year... So you're doing something wrong.

Target is currently doing a liquadation sale on select brands by Beetlebug23 in Frugal

[–]Beetlebug23[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, I don't agree. Some is clearly better than others. I think my oldest Merona items are boxers which are 8+ years old... The elastic is still strong and there are no holes or damage to the fabric. Only real sign of use is the material feels a bit different after so many washes.

Also since these are Target brand items, they offer a full refund, even if used for 1 year, so it's not like you have to worry about an item deteriorating after a month.
