I have seen on the site that you have to shop through smile.amazon.com but Peggy said she has shopped through the regular site and her purchases have counted. Maybe some will test this theory, or Peggy will chime in, but I was confused by that too.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style="border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in"><p class="MsoNormal"><b>From:</b> NFBF-L <nfbf-l-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Sherri Brun via NFBF-L<br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, January 19, 2023 12:23 AM<br><b>To:</b> 'NFB of Florida Internet Mailing List' <nfbf-l@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Sherri Brun <flmom2006@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [NFBF-L] Amazon Smile<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Hello all,<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">We had discussed Amazon Smile and I just purchased an item.
