Why Do You Put the Link in the Comments and NOT on the Main Facebook (Meta) post?
The answer is Facebook has forced us to do this. If we post a link when making a post, Facebook does not show it to you guys 90% of the time. If and when it does, it is days later. To avoid that and make it so you guys actually see it, we have to do a text post then put the link in the comments. Believe me, we don’t like doing this either, but we do not want you guys missing the deals, so this is what we have to do.
How can you help? You can help by copying the link that we share in the comments and pasting in a new comment to bump the post, so other members don’t have to scroll up so far to search for the links.
What Do I Do? How Do I Get the Deals?
We provide you with the information, all you have to do is click the link. The link will bring you to the post. Everything you need to know will be in the post. It will tell you whether the item is found In-Store or Online. Keep in mind that In-Store Clearance is YMMV = Your Market/Mileage May Vary.
Why Do I Say “Me” and Nothing Happens?
If you go to McDonald’s Drive-through and ask for a cheeseburger, you will not find a cheeseburger magically appearing in your lap. You actually have to drive around to the window and pay for it, and they will hand you your cheeseburger. It takes a little work on your part.
Now, by the same token, when you respond “Me” or leave an emoji on a post, the deal is not going to happen magically. UPS isn’t going to show up at your door with an item magically. You actually have to click on the link that we share to get the deal. We ask for interaction on posts (saying “ME”) to keep the group active and bump the deal so all can see.
