Thanks for the heads up. It's up to us the users what we choose to click on. I saved the duckduckgo site and I've been using it. Things change when we make the changes.

Have you considered ordering your groceries from Amazon through their Amazon Fresh service? It is not available everywhere, but it is quite excellent. I believe there is a charge on top of having Prime to have Fresh- but it is totally worth it. Check and see if it's available in your ZIP code. If they deliver anything that is not up to snuff, you contact them online within a few hours and poof the item is removed from your charge (happened once to me with apples.)

I don't think this is left over fabric. There were two Hancock's stores fairly close to me and they sold to the walls in the "going out of business sale". There was nothing left you would want to buy a month before they actually closed. For those who are not familiar, Hancock's was a fabric company based in Mississippi (I think it was MS, but it was the south for sure). About 40 years ago, it was an outlet type fabric store. You could find some buys, but you had to dig through a lot to find it. When I took up quilting, they didn't seem so much like an outlet store anymore. They carried fabric, hobby merchandise and small decorating items. Their fabric was mid-priced. Most were private label goods with few brand names. I would say they were comparable to what Joann's was a few years ago. (I think JoAnn's quality has improved in some areas lately.) So, basically, I'm guessing Michael's bought the name, not inventory. bkay

Chisue...as far as I can tell from my statement[s] I've earned 5% on all my purchases. My use of my card is basically limited to on-line food shopping via Instacart' shopping; at my local wholesale club; shopping at the big A; and independent site shopping for products either not available at the aforementioned sites or at sites I'm familiar with from my independent shopping days some years ago. I wasn't paying too much attention to my accrued points until recently. I had a slug of them and decided to cash them in. It was quite pleasantly eye opening...and appreciated. I elected to use the accrued funds to be applied to charges on my card. From that point on, I opted to have my monthly shopping points applied automatically to each months' billed items. I did this entire transaction over the internet at the Discover website. I don't do "telephone" unless it's an emergency. I'm severely sight impaired and using a telephone is a PITA for me. As a rule, I, generally, don't put more than $500/month on my card and usually less than that. I'm a frugal old Yankee and aside from book purchasing...my needs are minimal. Although..my electrician does take Discover. My plumber won't take any credit cards. LOL Maybe he's wiser than all of us! But for convenience...and necessity...Discover and I are fond companions. On sites where I can't use their card...which are few and far between...I use my MC. In answer to your question...I can't tell...which is primarily due to my sight issues. I just count the money back as a gift and go about my usual business. If my explanations above don't help...please continue with your questions and I'll try to answer them.
