How It Works

The 30-Second Version (For Busy Parents)

I find deals while shopping for my own family at 2am

I test the coupon codes (because expired codes are THE WORST)

I share them here with my honest thoughts

You click, you save, you’re happy

If you buy something, the store gives me a small commission

I use that money to buy more coffee and keep finding deals

That’s it. No catch, no spam, no weird surprises.

The Real Story Behind Kerry Picks

How I Find These Deals

The 2am Shopping Sessions

Most deals are discovered during my insomnia shopping sprees. Baby woke up? Time to check Target’s clearance. Can’t sleep? Let’s see what Amazon’s algorithm suggests today.

The Mom Network

Other moms are deal-finding ninjas. Sarah texts me about a Nordstrom sale, I tell her about discounted diapers. It’s like a suburban intelligence network, but for savings.

Newsletter Subscriptions

Yes, I’m subscribed to approximately 847 store newsletters. My inbox is chaos, but your savings are worth it.

Affiliate Networks

Brands actually tell me about sales through networks like ShareASale and CJ Affiliate. Sometimes they even give me exclusive codes (those are my favorites to share).

How I Test Everything

Before anything goes on the site:

• I try the code myself – Usually adding random stuff to my cart at midnight
• Check the fine print – Minimum purchases, exclusions, that sneaky stuff
• Verify the math – Is 30% off actually better than that BOGO deal?
• Reality check – Would I actually use this deal? Would my sister?

If it passes all these tests, it makes it to the site.

How You Save Money

Step 1: Browse or Search

Option A: The Casual Browse

Just scrolling through while drinking coffee? Check the homepage for today’s best finds.

Option B: The Mission

Need something specific? Use the search bar or check categories. Looking for kids’ clothes? I’ve got a whole section.

Option C: The Emergency Shop

It’s 11pm and you just remembered you need a birthday gift for tomorrow? Check my “Last-Minute Gifts” section.

Step 2: Click the Deal

When you find something good:

• Click the “Get Deal” or “Show Code” button
• You’ll go to the store’s website
• The code copies automatically (usually)
• If not, come back and copy it manually

Step 3: Shop and Save

Add items to your cart on the retailer’s site

Paste the code at checkout

Watch the price drop

Do a little happy dance (optional but recommended)

Step 4: The Behind-the-Scenes Magic

Here’s the transparent part:

• When you click my link, the store knows you came from Kerry Picks
• They put a cookie on your browser (stays 1-30 days depending on store)
• If you buy something, they tell me “someone bought something”
• I get a commission (usually 2-8% of your purchase)
• Your price stays exactly the same

The Money Part (Let’s Be Real)

How I Make Money

I’m an affiliate for brands like:

• Amazon – 1-4% commission (not much, but it adds up)
• Target – 1-8% depending on category
• Nordstrom – 2-8% for fashion finds
• Tech companies – Usually 3-5%
• Subscription services – Sometimes flat fees ($5-50 per signup)

What this means for you: Absolutely nothing. You pay the same price whether you use my link or go directly to the store. The store just shares a tiny piece with me for sending you their way.

Why This Model Works

You save money – Real discounts on stuff you were buying anyway

I earn something – Enough to make this worth doing at 2am

Stores get customers – Happy shoppers who found what they needed

Everyone wins – Except maybe my sleep schedule

Common Questions (That My Sister Asked)

“Do I pay more if I use your links?”

Nope! Same price, sometimes even less with exclusive codes. The commission comes from the store’s marketing budget, not your pocket.

“How do you know what I bought?”

I don’t! I see reports like “someone bought something from electronics for $50” but never “Sarah bought that embarrassing thing.” Your privacy is safe.

“What if the code doesn’t work?”

Email me immediately! Either it just expired (and I’ll update it), or there’s fine print we both missed. I’ll help you find another deal.

“Can I trust your reviews?”

I’ve turned down partnerships with brands I don’t like. My neighbor still asks my opinion on everything, so my reputation literally lives next door. I can’t afford to recommend garbage.

Red Flags I Avoid (And You Should Too)

• “90% off everything!” – Usually fake
• Pop-ups demanding your email – Annoying and sketchy
• “Only 2 left!” – Often fake urgency
• Hidden subscription signups – I HATE these
• Shipping that costs more than the item – Hard pass

If I accidentally share something sketchy (hey, I’m human), tell me immediately.

How to Get the Most from Kerry Picks

For Maximum Savings:

• Subscribe to my newsletter – Get deals before they expire
• Check back on Thursdays – New deals usually drop for weekends
• Stack codes when possible – Sometimes you can use multiple discounts
• Clear cookies between stores – Some sites get weird about this
• Set deal alerts – For stuff you’re waiting to buy

For Best Experience:

• Bookmark the site – Easier than googling every time
• Follow on social – Quick deals I don’t always post here
• Join the mom network – Comment and share your finds too
• Be patient with me – This is a one-woman show

The Fine Print Nobody Reads

• Deals can expire without warning (stores are unpredictable)
• Some codes are one-time use (first come, first served)
• Exclusions apply (always check the terms)
• International shipping varies (sorry, international friends)
• Cash back takes 30-60 days (affiliate networks are slow)

What Happens Next?

After You Use a Deal:

• Enjoy your savings (seriously, celebrate small wins)
• Tell me if it worked (or didn’t)
• Share with friends if it was amazing
• Come back when you need another deal
• Maybe leave a comment (they make my day)

What I Do with Feedback:

• “Code didn’t work” → Update immediately
• “Found a better deal” → Add it to the site
• “Site’s hard to navigate” → Fix it (after bedtime)
• “Love this!” → Screenshot for bad days

My Promise to You

Every deal, review, and recommendation comes from my actual experience as a mom trying to stretch a budget without sacrificing quality (or sanity).

I promise to:

• Test codes before sharing
• Update expired deals quickly
• Be honest about products
• Respect your privacy
• Keep improving the site
• Never spam you
• Stay caffeinated and keep hunting deals

Still Have Questions?

Seriously, just ask. I’m probably up at 2am anyway, comparing prices on something random while my family sleeps.

Email: hello@kerrypicks.com

Response time: Usually within 24 hours (unless there’s a school play, soccer game, or someone got the flu)

P.S. – If you’re reading this at 2am while feeding a baby or hiding from laundry, welcome to the club. Check out the “Midnight Shopping Therapy” section I made just for us.

P.P.S. – My husband still doesn’t fully understand how affiliate marketing works but he’s stopped questioning the random packages that arrive. He just says “Kerry Picks?” and I nod. Marriage is about acceptance.
