Shopping made easier (and cheaper) with Alfie

Disclosure: This post was brought to you by the good people at Kenmore and, specifically, the Kenmore Alfie. Although I’ve been compensated, all thoughts, opinions, and CRAZY AWESOME DEALS are entirely my own.

Oh, friends. Let me introduce you to Alfie, your new personal shopper/concierge/best friend amalgamation who will be on call for you everywhere you go. I could tell you more, but how about I show you more?

Enjoy.

 

First things first. Yes, my office is actually in a closet, and yes, I usually have a less-free hand with the eyeliner. Weekday mornings are tricky. (Yes, I found a magical 8-bit mix of “Little Spanish Flea,” created by YouTube user thepsynergist. Couldn’t you just listen to it all day long?) Also! Yes, I tout the glorious aspects of a human being appearing on the other end of the Alfie and, even though you only hear the robotic voice in my vlog, I assure you that a very real person and I had a lengthy back n’ forth about a follow-up item (which I got for easily ten bucks cheaper than I had previously priced out). I frequently have questions. Loads of ’em. And the immediate responses by thinking and feeling and savvy folks who dig my questions the first go ’round are worth their weight in gold. (Or magnetic discs emblazoned with puppies and tiny speakers.)

 

More things you should know!

After a bit of this back n’ forth, Alfie becomes even savvier on the types of things you’d like to buy for yourself (or fine, for gifts).

Like I mentioned, this app is free on the App Store and Google Play (it requires iOS 8 and up or Android 4.1 and up), the personal concierge is included at no extra charge, and there’s never a markup on the things you buy. (How often can you say that?)

Away from your Alfie? Use the app to text through the app, respond at your convenience, and make purchases on the go!

Alfie comes to us via Kenmore, whom folks have known and loved for over 100 years (although Alfie finds your products across all marketplaces!), and if an issue ever comes up with something you (and Alfie) have purchased, Alfie works with customer service for you. Go back and re-read that line. I mean, really.

Want one? No kidding you do.

So, here’s the deal. Alfie retails for $49.99, but right now there’s this fantastic deal where you buy one for $19.99 and get $50 in Shop Your Way points once you activate it. (Curious where you can use these Shop Your Way points? How about at hundreds of retailers, including Starbucks, Zulily, Old Navy, Land of Nod, Birchbox, and Uber, just to name a few? Full list is here!)

Who couldn’t use an extra helping hand (or paw) once in a while- or, you know, every single day? Alfie wants to be that paw.

Good boy, Alfie.
