Disclosure

Kosher on a Budget is a personal blog written and edited by me, Mara Strom Sachs. By sharing tips, stories, recipes, freebies, coupons, and deal match-ups, I hope to give you the tools and inspiration to live a rich, kosher life that is within your means.

Writing this blog is a labor of love, but like any labor, it demands a lot of hard work. In order to compensate the costs associated with running Kosher on a Budget, such as server space, design and coding, and of course my own efforts, I have made the decision to monetize this blog. What does this mean to you?

Paid Advertisements? Yes!

You will begin to notice paid advertisements in my sidebar. Some of these ads have been selected by Google AdSense, which uses a metric that targets its ads based on key words in my content or comments. I do not control which ads run nor when they run, although I can block inappropriate ads from appearing on my blog. If you should ever see an ad that doesn’t seem right — such as for a treif product — please contact me. It helps if you let me know what page you were looking at when you saw the ad (and where the ad was placed on the page).

I also feature private advertisements from small (and not-so-small) businesses. If you have a small business that may be of interest to my readers, I would love to talk to you. Please contact me.

Affiliate Links? Sometimes!

On occasion, when you click on a link to a coupon, freebie or great deal, the company I am linking to will pay me a small “commission” if you print that coupon, order that freebie, or buy that great deal. On other occasions, I won’t get paid anything because the link won’t be an affiliate link.

In either case, my commitment to you is three-fold:

1. I will never tell you about a deal, freebie, coupon or anything else for that matter that I haven’t or wouldn’t use for myself or for my family.
2. I won’t ever knowingly point you in the direction of something that isn’t kosher – literally and figuratively.
3. I will not allow sponsorships, affiliates or any other form of advertising — paid or unpaid — to influence my opinions.

Kosher on a Budget is affiliated with a number of companies, including Amazon. Kosher on a Budget is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com, endless.com, and myhabit.com.

All posts on Kosher on a Budget that contact affiliate links, including links to Amazon.com, will clearly be identified by the following disclaimer:

This post contains affiliate links, which help to support Kosher on a Budget. For more information, see my disclosure policy.

Sponsored Posts? Maybe!

When the right opportunity presents itself, I will, on occasion, accept payment from a sponsor to underwrite a post or series of posts. If and when I write a sponsored post, I will clearly identify the post as such and I will, as always, share my honest opinions and experiences with you.

Paid Content? No!

The integrity of this blog is essential to me, which is why I will never post content that someone else has written and paid me to post.

My readers are my #1 priority, so if you have any questions about the advertisements or affiliate links that appear on this blog, please feel free to leave a comment or contact me directly!
