We have a lot of new features on BargainBabe.com that we’d like to share with you! Here is where you’ll find everything.
Freebies – In the sliding bar underneath the banner is where we put each day’s curated list of freebies. You’ll find anywhere from 10 to 80 freebies everyday except Sunday. When we like to sleep in. 🙂 The best offers go quickly, so don’t delay!
Amazon deals – Each day we publish one hot deal on Amazon in the slider, next to the freebies. We especially like to feature deals on jewelry, kitchen gadgets, books and ebooks and women’s clothes. We try to highlight deals that cost less than $25 because we don’t want to tempt you with TOO big of a splurge. Hehehe.
Coupons – We round up the latest online coupons and stick ’em in the slider with the freebies and Amazon deals. Coupons for groceries and the drugstore are always popular on the site so we make ’em easy to find at the top of the page.
Strategies to save – Our meaty tips and strategies to save, like top money-saving apps, recipes on the cheap, and household cleaning tips, are on the lower left under the slider. We provide just a snippet so you can scan the headlines quickly and find what interests you. Click on the (more…) link to keep reading.
Search – What are you looking for? That’s our search box on the mid-right column to help you find older posts on BargainBabe.com. Just type in two or three words that describe what you’re looking for and voila! A slew of posts with those words will pop up below the search box.
More search – Another way to find posts on a particular topic is to scroll your mouse over the “nav bar” (short for navigation bar) at the top of the page, under the Bargain Babe banner but above the slider. You’ll find links, in this order, to the Home page, Freebies, Coupons, Food, Money, Save Money On, Seasonal, About, and Contact. Scroll over each word and a drop down menu with more choices will appear. The Home, About, and Contact pages do NOT have any drop down menus.
Get in touch – We love to hear from you, so share your most recent score, ask a question, or just say hello! You can email us directly on the Contact page.
Thanks for checking out BargainBabe.com!
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.
Love the new design, so bold!
@Carol Awesome! Glad you do.
I think the new design looks great, with the exception of the picture next to the “Bargain Babe” graphic at the top of the page. It doesn’t do you justice and makes it look like you barely have a nose at all! You might ask your graphics person to rework it a bit. (Even better would be if they used a pic of you wearing glasses – I think that would be even more recognizable as the Bargain Babe we all know and love!)
I hope you don’t mind the feedback. Otherwise, I love the new design/layout!
@N. Davis Thanks for your feedback! We don’t mind it at all. Love hearing from our readers.
@N. Davis I think that’s the first time I’ve seen an image of me where you couldn’t see my nose! 🙂 I see your point about the glasses. I like the graphic because it is a illustrated version of a photo of Lucy and me. I always feel so beautiful when I’m with her!
Thanks for your feedback and let us know if you have any questions.
@ BB ~ I’m confoozed. The graphic I’m looking at is you, sans glasses, but no Lucy. You wrote that it’s an illustrated version of a photo of mom and daughter.
@Diane It was originally a photo of Lucy and me, but she didn’t make the cut! Poor baby. Just used the portion of the photo showing my face for the graphic.
I happen to like the BB graphic. After all, graphics generally are representative, rather than true to life. It’ll take me a bit of time to figure out how to navigate my way around the site, but I’m looking forward to it.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to BB and family and all her fans!
BIG OL’ HUGS all ’round ~ EL
Let me know if you need help finding something on the site, Ellie!
Nice new site! A website face lift is always exciting. Thank you for the great video too.
It was time to have a little work done, Mary Jane. Thanks for being such an active BargainBabe.com reader!
I agree with EllieD about getting used to navigating about. Also, I still don’t see the return of signing up to receive additional comments regarding a post. I had thought that would be one of the changes.
I’ve been looking around since I commented earlier and am officially confused as to the layout and how to navigate. Oh well.
@Diane What specifically are you confused by? It’s hard to help you learn how to navigate the new site if I don’t know exactly what’s troubling you.
I understand that. Part of my confusion likely was from having a 20-hour day. Also, I like to understand things yesterday! I need to give it some time. Will let you know if that doesn’t help.
@Diane We weren’t able to include that immediately on the site, but I hope we can restore that function through a plug in. We had to delete the “follow up comments” plugin and others because they were causing the site to crash. Thanks for your patience while we work on this.
Love the new design. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of Lucy.
Thanks for letting me know Fran! I will try to post more pics of Lucy soon!
