I’m so pleased to introduce BargainBabe.com’s first intern, Alex! He is a bright young student from UC Davis who is working at BargainBabe.com this summer. He’ll be writing blog posts, creating promotional materials, and in general helping me help you save money!
Please join me in welcoming Alex into the BargainBabe.com community!

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 Alex,
Hope to read some more great stuff on Bargain Babe 🙂
Hi Alex, Welcome to you.
Thanks! I’ve already learned a ton and it’s only been a few days.
Welcome to Bargain Babe. I Love this site and I hope you do to!
Hi Alex! I’m in the music business and we are working with LOTS of interns at agencies and newspapers this summer. Wecome to the wide wide world of frugal living and mindful spending!
Hi Alex! Welcome to this lovely site! All best for you and good stuff for us!
So Lucky Brand Jeans is having their bi annual sale soon, June 25 or 26 is the start I believe… More then likely most things are going on sale and most of the sale is going to get marked down even lower.
We’re not encouraged to tell customers this but if you come in and get your merchandise prior to the sale, to insure the best selection, you CAN bring in your receipt within 14 days for a price adjustment. Also check back on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, that’s when shipments come in and during sale it’s usually more sale merchandise.
Sorry can’t give my name, don’t want to get fired!
Thanks for the tip!
Welcome Alex to Bargain Babe!
Considering the continuing shake-up in the world of journalism, is this an industry you really wish to be in? Just ask Julia! It’s not too late to change. I hear the medical field is HOT right now…lol
Enjoy yourself. It’s a fun site, and lots of great contributors. I’m certain Julia will be a good mentor.
Now, here’s a project for you. Did you see the post prior to mine? I wish you could come-up with some sort of white space area for people to post subjects, tips, ideas, thoughts that are outside of the current topic on the blog.
Maybe something along the lines of “Breaking Babe Bargains” or “Hot Babe Bargains”! Limited time bargains the have a very limited shelf life.
Granted, monitoring the comments is an issue, but I’m wondering if that might be something Julia would consider? If the the post to the white space is inappropriate, it could easily be removed.
The post prior to mine infers an upcoming discount on Lucky Jeans. If you did not read the post and the associated comments, nobody would have known.
I am not suggesting messgae boards. There has to be another, better way than message boards.
Is such a thing as a “white space” area even possible?
If you work out, I might even pass along my tips about price matching at Wal-Mart…lol
SO_CAL_RETAIL_SLUT Is Expanding!!! (not waist size…lol) Coming in July!!!
SCRS, I love your “white space” idea. I had considered adding a forums page for folks to share deals, but I’m hoping the exciting new project I’m planning will take care of it. Keep your fingers crossed!
ALEX! The Blog Intern, or the Twitter Intern, or…the Blob (sci-fi fan?)…Welcome! We’ll be reading a lot of one another in the coming summer months…when you’re not on the beach or hanging at LA parties! Or…with all these new-fangled technical devices, maybe we’ll be reading you when you ARE on the beach or dancing up a storm?! Ya never know…
Enjoy your time learning from one of the best!
Hi Alex,
Glad you are aboard. Hope to hear a lot from you. Looking forward to your money saving tips.
