What do you want our new staff writers to tackle? Via Shutterstock
The competition was stiff, money was saved, and tough financial issues were tackled during the staff writer auditions for BargainBabe.com. We published seven audition posts and from that talented group…
I decided to hire Heather Stephens and Megan Thode!
Heather wrote “Should My Daughter Pay Her Medical Bills?” She is a frugal mom of three who writes about personal finance and shopping for FatWallet.com/blog. She also shares stories on her personal blog, Becoming-Me.com, about the embarrassing situations she always finds herself in, money, and personal development.
Megan wrote “Negotiating Secret Saved me $1,000 Off a New Car.” Her mom has been telling her she’s a writer since Kindergarten. While acting in Los Angeles (IE waitressing, baristaing, nannying), she gave it a shot. Since then, she has written everything from sports and fashion editorials to national commercial campaigns and reality TV (yes, it’s scripted folks). Megan currently lives in Kansas City, enjoying less traffic and more tornadic activity. She blogs at fiterature.com to share her passion for health, fitness and leotards on a budget.
Please join me in welcoming Megan and Heather to BargainBabe.com! Their posts will begin appearing soon.
Welcome to Bargain Babe! I’m Mara, and I’m so glad you’re here. I am an obsessive bargain hunter and penny pincher, and I am determined to live a full life without EVER paying full price.
Congratulations to the two new Bargain Babe staff writers! Looking forward to reading your posts.
@Aicha Thanks, Aicha! I’m interested to see what they write about, too.
