Note from Juli . . .
Please tell everyone in AZ you know (or even strangers!) to check us out. If they don’t already love you, they may start! :) Most of you know this, but just in case you don’t … I pay people to help me since I just don’t have time to spend on what is needed to keep this site going. I use affiliate links and advertising, to generate an income. We get to continue because of those who use our links and help us grow by telling others about Bargain Believer.
I want to be honest/clear … our #1 priority is to save you money, not make money. But, for one to happen, the other needs to happen or we can’t continue. I still refuse to post things that I hope a few of you might jump on, just to make a buck .. at the expense of wasting everyone else’s time & diluting the things I find valuable. We really pick and choose what we feel is the best, especially for AZ residents, without becoming a site that just lists Amazon & other affiliate deals all the time. That means the majority of our posts make us a whopping $0. I get as excited to post those as I do the money making ones, if I know you will benefit.
With that said, sometimes I feel guilty for posting the things I make money on. In some ways, it would be easier if I didn’t make/need money. My guilt would be less.
Later this afternoon, I will put up a post about Pogo Pass. I’m sorry for those of you who are sick of seeing it. However, please realize that it’s extremely popular and I get thanked for sharing it all the time. It’s an amazing value and I completely believe in it. Also, keep in mind that we have new people come to the site each day and most people don’t see every post we do (shocking to a few of you loyal followers, I know) :) Honestly … we probably couldn’t afford to keep doing what we’re doing without Pogo’s generous commission. I’d love for you to share or tag people on that post (or any!) if you think anyone would benefit. Side note: Pogo can also be used for fundraisers. If you know a school or non-profit that needs to make some money, please send me an email (juli@bargainbeliever.com). Or, it can even be a business that wants to put flyers on their counter. They are a super company to work with.
Okay, this didn’t start out so long in my mind, but I’m a world-class rambler. I’m glad you’re here and really don’t know how to fully express that to you, but just believe me … I love sharing deals and it’s much easier to share them, than keep them to myself. Well … in some ways. :) THANK YOU! ~ Juli

I’m new to your site. I found you by accident but am very happy I did. I had given up on the site i use to use. Your site is exactly what I need. Thank you to you & your staff for all the work you do to help us all save money. You guys ROCK! I will tell everyone I can how awesome your site is! Be well~ Barbara
Welcome! So glad you found us and that we can help you out. Thanks for letting others know about us. It means a lot to me, that people value what we share and trust us enough to share. Thank you!
Julie – wanted to share! I think it’s amazing you do this and have it orchestrated as such. Don’t feel guilty for your time and being compensated. Bargainbeliever.com is amazing and I always always come to your site first to check out deals that otherwise I can’t find here first. Being a single mom and doing what I can to provide for my family is my priority and you help make that happen. Thank you and from my family to yours Hope you have a wonderful Happy Holiday!

I’m so glad we can help you a little, freeing up some minutes in (what has to be!) a very busy life! Thank you for the encouragement. It’s really appreciated!
Thank you! Enjoy them
And your movie…goodnight!! ????????
I LOVE your site!! I share it with everyone I know. I can’t tell you the amount of people I’ve stopped in the produce department at Walmart as they look through all their different ads. I tell them about you site, show it to them and they are thrilled…probably just as thrilled as I was when I found your site by accident! Every Wednesday morning I send the link to 10 of my closest friends and if I forget to send it by 10:00am I get harassed lol. With 4 kids it took a lot of time to price match before I went shopping…and now you’ve saved me so much time, time that i get to spend with my kids instead ????Thank you thank you thank you…you are huge blessing. We save so much price matching…it’s awesome…but not as awesome as you Julie!!

Well, I need you to do a commercial for me. :) Thanks so much for passing the information along to others. That means so much, along with the fact that you took time to pass along your own gratitude. You are also appreciated, for being here and being grateful. You’re the reason we keep doing what we’re doing. Thank you … and enjoy those kids of yours! Mine sure are growing up fast. Speaking of that … my husband and kids are ready to all watch a show in 5 min. so I need to wrap things up here. Good night!
Thank you for all you do. I do so enjoy knowing there are frugal friends out there. We are in the grandparenting phase of our lives and appreciate all of your info. And I do share about your site when I can.
I feel the same way! Having this site has helped me discover many new frugal cyber-friends. Hope you’re enjoying the phase of life tat you’re in. I’m sure your kids and grandkids enjoy some of the bargains you find. Thanks for taking the time to comment!
I share your site with everyone. From the people who check me out at the stores to coworkers. I have joined some coupon groups based in Tucson and share with all them also. I couldn’t get a lot of the deals without you gals and your hard work. Thanks so much.
I really appreciate that you do that. I love seeing the same names and faces (on Facebook). You all feel like part of my big extended family and I appreciate each of you. Thank you!!
I really enjoy this site. Since I’ve started following you on Facebook and checking in on this page regularly I’ve been able to take part in so many fun & FREE activities with my family. So thank you! :)
You are welcome! I love to hear from “real” people and not rely on Google Analytics to know people are coming and using the information. :) Thanks for taking the time to tell me. It’s appreciated!
