@marvomatic Polarized outputs just means the two different slot sizes in each output receptacle, where the longer slot is for the neutral wire, and the shorter slot is for the “hot” (120V) wire.
Almost all modern 120V devices with a two-wire cord have a polarized plug end, by design.
It’s a safety thing, as the “hot” wire is the one that should be switched on/off, and not the neutral wire (which btw, is connected to ground back at the service entrance).
However, both wires in these 2-wire cords conduct current, when on.

Staples: $100 Lowe's Gift Card for $90 (email delivery), limit 3, while it lasts
https://www.staples.com/Lowes-Gift-Card-100-Email-Delivery/product_179825
My love/hate relationship with Lowe’s continues. I wish there was a Menards store nearby, or even a Home Depot store…

Staples Ink Rewards, Historic Times for "Double Ink Rewards"?
Does anybody recall past months that Staples offered “Double Ink Rewards”?
I’m holding onto some (20) ink cartridges that I need to turn in this month.From what I remember, in the past, Staples announced these towards the end of the month.
So now I typically wait near the end of each month before I bring my next batch of 20 into the store… -
RE: Mem. Day Update: Bed Bath & Beyond 'Beyond+' Membership (Valid thru January 2, 2023) (can do it again!)
@hbg1 Same thing for me–I had to look for this deal on the big, mean, deal site and use the link there.
The free shipping bit is the possible attraction for me, although it’s tough to go against Amazon Prime.
Here’s hoping this isn’t the death knell for BB&B, like SYWR points were for Kmart/Sears! -
RE: TMobile Tuesdays 5/17: Free 90 Day Walmart+ Trial, Free Breakfast Sandwich at Wendy's w/beverage purchase, more
@mistercheap Wonder if the free Walmart+ trial is doable if you already did another (previous) free 90 day trial?
Probably not, going by how it works on similar free trials with Amazon (Music, Kindle Unlimited, etc)… -
RE: (Expired) Home Depot Glenville Small Black Kitchen Cart with Butcher Block Top and Locking Wheels (10% off using your email) $93.87 ($149) Exp May 2
@marvomatic “Limit 10 per order” So I guess if you wanted 60, you’d need to make 6 orders!

RE: Current BPR (beer purchase required) online rebates
RE: “BUDWEISER FAMILY OR MICHELOB ULTRA (x-size) OR LARGER WITH FUEL $10 REBATE” (AB-5660, AB-5608)? My question is can you submit separate receipts, and do they have to be the same day and/or same vendor for both beer and gas? TIA

RE: 2022 MASTER THREAD -NBPR (can now choose PAYPAL for reward) - No Beer Purchase Required Rebates online submission
@briarycliffs Out of curosity, are many here going after these $0.50, $1, $1.50 rebates? I’m guessing they add up, but dang.
It’s kind of moot for me anyway, as I’m in VA, so not that many apply. Same thing for the BPR rebates though. So many $1 and $2 ones! -
RE: Current BPR (beer purchase required) online rebates
@ukedog Guiness rebate period ended. Looking for a good April Fools day beer rebate now.
