How do you find coupon codes that work?

Q: I don't want to go to the store right now. Is there a trick to getting good deals shopping online? I feel like everyone knows something I don't.

A: There is a secret: Honey. It's a free, easy-to-use browser extension and app. You can find coupons for thousands of retailers that actually work. No more endless searching online for good deals. Honey is so easy to install, too. Just a couple of clicks and you're done.

Not using Honey is literally passing up free money. Get Honey for free at JoinHoney.com/Kim.

Secure your online browsing

Q: My coworkers are using VPNs, and it's making me wonder if I need to do the same. Is it necessary?

A: VPN usage is through the roof. People conducting important business from home don't have the luxury of their in-office IT team. A VPN adds another layer of protection. Plus, think about this: COVID-19 is the first global health crisis that has the government and Big Tech companies turning to surveillance technology for tracking cases. That might just end up being permanent.

Get the same protection I trust and use. Visit ExpressVPN.com/Kim for a 30-day free trial, plus 3 months free with a 12-month subscription.

Protecting my family

Q: We're home all day, and all night, and it's making me think twice about never installing a home security system. Is it too late? I don't want a tech at my house during the pandemic.

A: It's an uncertain time, so I can see why security is on your mind. Check out SimpliSafe for 24/7 protection for your entire home. It has video doorbells, sensors for doors and windows, smart locks and HD cameras — and you can install them yourself. No salespeople or techs bothering you at home. It's easy, I promise.
