Anyone get an instant win? Seems impossible to get a basket.

This is surely another one of those games where the results are random, I don’t think there is actually any trick to be able to get a basket. Like those digital “spin the wheel” games where they make it look like it’s an equal chance to hit the jackpot space as any other but really, it’s not.

Maybe… I actually scored a basket yesterday and won a trucker hat. Tried to drop it in the same place today and kept failing… so yea probably random.

“MrVietnam
At my local store they were selling one flavor of Blue Diamond almonds - the Korean BBQ flavor - for only $1.40 for a 6 oz can. It normally goes for $5.39 or something close to that.”

Wow, I would have bought a lot of them, say 8 cans! I like nuts, have a dozen variety’s, I eat a handful everyday, its nutritious, and good for your heart!

The salt is probably not that great for your heart…

I ported my phone number to Google voice so that whenever I switch phone providers I don’t have to keep porting over and over (and risking my number). I just link whatever phone number the provider assigns me to my Google voice number. I never give anyone the provider assigned number, everyone just keeps calling me on the Google voice number.

This also allows me to send texts and make calls for free on my PC using my Google voice number. I do this by installing the Bluestacks app on my PC (it’s an android emulator that let’s you install and run any android app on your PC), and then use Bluestack to install the Google voice app.

No Bluetooth required.

Do you not port your number when switching providers?

Correct. I’ve only ever ported once, from Sprint to Google voice. Now whenever I get a new provider/new phone number, I link the new phone number to my Google voice number in the Google voice app. All phone calls and texts get sent to my Google voice number (whether they were sent to my provider assigned number or my Google voice number). I never use the pre-installed phone and text apps on my android device because they use the assigned phone number linked to the sim card/provider. I only use the Google voice app fir calls, texts, and voice-mail (all in one app).

I know how Google voice works, but is there a reason you don’t port your number?

20 banks that are sitting on huge potential securities losses—as was SVB

SVB Financial faced a perfect storm, but there are plenty of other banks that would face big losses if they were forced to dump securities to raise cash.

yes I saw that, but keep in mind if you stay within the FDIC limits you shouldn’t have any concerns. But I certainly understand someone being hesitant to park money here based on that report.

When I spoke to a financial planner he mentioned that it might take some time to get your money back from FDIC.

@jess888 I normally don’t have alot of Staples rewards, but I recently had $20 to burn. I went to Staples and found Kleenex for a reasonable sale price and Method Gel handsoap refill on clearance. (Method Gel handsoap works great in my SimpleHuman no-touch soap dispenser).

I often find household items in store that aren’t offered online and prices comparable to Target, etc…

I often find their prices are sometimes grossly overpriced (sometimes more than double what they are elsewhere), but don’t forget that they price match (and you can still place kiosk orders through the cashier)
