If you already know me from my LA Daily News column and blog, welcome! If you are new to my savvy-spending blog, doubly welcome!
Each weekday I provide four to eight tips that will help you save money on groceries, gasoline, dining out, clothes, and more. You can get all the tips e-mailed to you by signing up for e-mail updates or by subscribing to my RSS feed.
I like to share stories about how I spend my money and I hope you will too. Please participate by leaving comments, voting in my polls, and suggesting ideas for posts. I will teach you a thing or two about cutting back, but together we can save a whole lot more.

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. 
I am so excited about this new blog…double the shopping pleasure:)
Hi, Julia ~
I think I’m going to enjoy your new website, judging by the intro edition. Besides, your picture is way more flattering than the ones in the DN and on the BH blog.
Just in case you need it, my last name is Doud, same as the person already listed on your other site.
I’m hanging in with the DN subscription for now, but the paper is getting smaller and smaller. And, no, I do not enjoy reading any newspaper on-line. I’m very old-fashioned that way.
All the best to you on your new venture.

Thanks to my Favorite Fashionista, Ellie and Denise for supporting me new blog. There is a lot more to come! ~Julia
Am trying to get used to the font. I prefer that of The BH.
Really? I think my new site is much easier on the eyes. ~Julia
Your picture looks pretty much the same to me. Wonder why Ellie thinks you might need her last name. I signed up for both e-mail and RSS feed, the latter to learn what the heck that’s about! Good luck with this new venture.
Thanks Diane! I appreciate your readership. Please tell all your friends! ~Julia
