Loving Shoptagger!

ECBG — Tue, 20 Apr 2021 20:09:46 GMT

I heard about Shoptagger, a free service from a blogger I follow.

When you shop a store, there is a little price tag on the top right of your screen. You click on it when checking out, and all possible coupons are tried out. They allow you to chose the discount available which you prefer.

I ordered cotton denim capris from Lands End and saved $79.00!

@ECBG Thanks for the shoptagger info! I have never heard of this but I am sure I will keep it on my radar while shopping from home.

Thats a great tip....just be aware that is another wa that Big Brother follows you

I have to laugh when I hear someone say they wont get vaccinated becase the government will be able to track you...

Heres a newsflash if you have a smart phone they know everything about you...

Dont believe me?

Have a conversation holding your cell, not even turned on,,,even with yourself, about something you never woud use..Like

Retired...baby diapers

Live in Florida...snow shovels

Within day you will see on FB and in your emails all kinds of ads for these products.

I dont have any problem with this actually, Im a boring old lady...go ahead and track me...

Just know that Big Brother is ALWAYS listening

We are discussing a shopping app. Please start your own thread.

@ECBG Unfortunately @ProudMa is correct. The shopping tag that you've loaded is the ultimate in super cookies!

I think it's probably safer to pick your own discounts

Honey, I haven't had any issues.

Shoptagr is now called Karma. Not sure why the name change.

I DO NOT shop on my phone. So, I would like to mention that on a computer a lot of these apps aka extentions can interfere with other sites. So, if you suddently have trouble logging into a site you might try disabling all your extentions on your computer before contacting the site. i discoverd this with one of my coupon apps that kept me from logging into a genealogy site that I should've been able to get on through my library. I think it was the Ebates extension but can't remember for sure.

I'm not saying don't use them, just want to make you are aware.

Some interesting articles about Shoptagr/Karma. Scary privacy concerns. Just don't allow it to install their button on your browser. If you allow that, they are able to see everything you do online, and they share your personal info.

You're just asking for trouble, IMO.

I'd rather look for the coupon codes on my own. You can't be too safe!

I have never used the service mentioned, but I do use Retail Me Not to search for coupon codes.

@Bri369 , same. I never download any extensions to my browser. It is very easy to search for coupon codes myself.

Also, people need to remember that more often that not, these bloggers and definitely the YouTubers are getting paid for these recommendations.

@ECBG Shopping aps are the biggest trackers. What you wrote is confusing, but if it is an app, it will typically know even where you are. That is how it offers you discounts where you are shopping. @ProudMa is correct.

Not just that, those browser extensions know everything you do with your browser, including facebook, email, etc.
