Thanks, Hubby!
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.
Hi Bargain Babe-I’ve been subscribing since you were Bargain Hunter and I just love your site. Except I think there’s something wrong. I seem to be getting things late–like this one for the opera this past weekend. I got this email on Monday afternoon,so I couldn’t take advantage of it. There have also been a few other times where that’s happened. Any way to remedy this situation?
Thanks,
Karen
Hi Karen, thanks for your comment. You are right, the timing of the daily email has been off. I’m using a free software program to send the emails and in this case, you really get what you pay for. For the past few weeks the program has been sending the email update HOURS late. So you are not the only one a bit ticked off! I’m considering switching or upgrading to a paid service but my budget is basically zero. I apologize for the occasionally bad timing and appreciate your patience. Thanks for reading my blog, Julia
