Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Rich DeMuro, Good morning, the host of rich On techn Morning, Amy.
I got sidetracked by all the fun talk about Pastathon
and Wendy's chili, which is duh delicious. Okay, yeah, it's.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Been a bit. I did have Wendy's nuggets the other
day and they were good.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
I love Wendy's. Okay, So for the holiday shopping season,
we want to know. We've been teasing it all morning.
What is your go to to find the best promo
code so you can save some cash shopping online?

Speaker 2 (00:29):
Okay, there is only one website that I go to.
I know there's a million out there, and you can
spend eight hundred hours on Google searching promo codes for
whatever website. You're never going to find them. This is
the website that has it. Every single time. If there
is a code for a site, this will have it.
I don't know why, it just does. It is called
you ready for.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
This, yep?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Simplycodes dot com. You don't even have to sign up,
you don't have to do anything special. Just go to
that website, tap the magnifying like the search glass in
the upper right hand corner, and just type in the
name of the company that you're shopping at or the website,
and if there is a code, it will be on
simply Codes and you can try to prove me wrong,

(01:11):
but I will tell you I've tested all the different
websites out there. This one works every single time. And
if you don't, like I've had people email me like, Rich,
I didn't find a code for a site, and I
was like, well, does that site have a code somewhere else?
Because it probably doesn't.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Got it? Okay, So the one that I have that's
kind of built into my phone right now is the
Capital One. Have you?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:35):
Is that decent or this one's just way better?

Speaker 2 (01:38):
So that's funny you say that because the Capital One
they bought a company and I'm trying to remember what
that company was that used to be my favorite, but
now that it's owned by a giant credit card company,
of course I'm not a fan of it. So but yes,
that one, I'm trying to remember what the name of
that they bought, like a startup that was my favorite
code company. And so I think that that one is

(02:00):
pretty good. I just haven't used it in a while.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Okay, So simplycodes dot com, all right, And also you
have some shopping secrets, and we all love secrets, so
spill the tea.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
Yeah. So I did an entire newsletter. You can find
it at Richontech dot tv. It's my ultimate holiday shopping
cheat sheet. I'm not kidding. I did not hold back.
I put every single tip that I have about holiday
shopping in this newsletter so that you can benefit, including
all the little lists they have on Amazon, the ways
to check prices on Amazon. You've heard us talk about Camelcamelcamel.

(02:34):
That's a good one. But Amazon also has their new
rufus Ai, which is very good at finding price history
and also setting price alerts kip A k E E
p A. You can add that extension to your Google
Chrome or your other browser that supports extensions, and when
you go to any Amazon page, it will have a nice,
clear price history chart for every single product that you visit.

(02:58):
So that's a good one. Let's see what else do
I have here? Shop Back, which I partner with on
my show, which I love. Basically, you go to shopback
dot com, you click a link. They will give you
a percent back on your purchases and they work with Amazon.
By the way, if you're looking for Apple prices, like
Apple gear. You know, Apple typically does not discount their
own products, but third parties do, so if you go

(03:19):
to the MacRumors Buyer's Guide or Apple Insider's price guides,
whatever products you're looking for. Like, let's just say I'm
looking for a new iPad mini. I don't know why
i'd be looking for that, but let's say I am.
I can tell here if you go to their website
the best prices just by clicking on iPad mini, and
it will tell you all the different places it's selling

(03:41):
for and how much and to discount and how much
it typically it's it's really really good.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
And is it pretty easy? Because it's to me, I
want ease and I kind of have add when it
comes to like just sitting and surfing around. I just
want to get it done.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
This is easy, and I can tell you just looking
at that iPad mini. It gives me a list of
all the you know, that's the thing. You want to
use a big retailer like an Amazon, a BNH, a
Best Buy, and it tells you the discount at each
of those places. Right now, iPad Mini sadly is only
getting like a ten dollars discount, so don't buy that
right now.

Speaker 1 (04:13):
Okay, kfi's Tech I Rich Demurro. You can hear them
live right here on KFI every Saturday from eleven to two.
The show is called rich on Tech. You can watch
them on KTLA, follow him on Instagram at rich on Tech,
his website rich on Tech dot tv. And of course
you got to get your hands on that newsletter so
you can find out all of Rich's shopping secrets and
you can do you get that on your website too.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, rich on Tech dot tv. There's so many I'm
just scrolling through here and there's just so many. A
way to get discounted gift cards. Oh my gosh, I'm like,
these are all the things that wait to Oh my gosh.
I have a great one that will activate all those
digital coupons at the grocery store. I mean, there's just
so much here. You got to check it out.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
Oh I got to do that because I hate when
I miss the digital coupons at the store.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
