Have you ever thought that the Thanksgiving meal is meant to give you all the energy to deal with Black Friday? If you had better luck than I did, you probably got the Black Friday deal you had your eyes own. Sometimes I forget that I can use Discover to find exciting deals. Who said it was only useful for content creators? Hmm, maybe I’m onto something here. A search engine for compers (that’s British for competition fanatics) and bargain hunters. I’ll be back in a minute, I need to pitch this idea to my boss and win myself that big promotion.
