The disclosure that follows is Eat. Shop. Save.'s attempt to comply with the FTC’s policy that demands websites, blogs, and other online media be transparent about any and all affiliate relations we may have. In plain English you, the visitor or customer, should assume that any and all links on this site are affiliate links. If you click on these links and go visit the resulting site, a cookie will be set in your web browser that will cause us to receive a commission “IF” you purchase a product on the other end. This is a legitimate way to monetize and pay for the operation of web sites and we gladly reveal our affiliate relationships to you.

In addition I fully disclose that hyperlinks on this site are in most cases shortened for readability, and in some cases cloaked to hide lengthy links for functionality and tracking purposes. I have nothing to hide and am proud of my relationship with the vendors, products and services found throughout Eat. Shop. Save. Link tracking, shortening and cloaking is a very common practice on all types of web sites.

Further, I do not receive physical products or cash directly in exchange for any reviews or posts you find on this site. No one has paid me to do reviews or posts. I have to tell you that it is possible that our reviews and posts are influenced by our affiliate relationships and may create a conflict of interest. I do not believe a conflict of interest exists, but you, the visitor or customer, must decide by considering the affiliate relationships and link techniques we have described. I only allow affiliate links and ads that I believe would be a benefit to you the consumer. I avoid conflict by only reviewing or posting about products and services I trust and have found to be reiable. I strive to always give our honest opinions and experiences on topics or products I write about and promote.

Other vendors may also pay to place advertising on Eat. Shop. Save. in the form of banners, widgets, and hyperlinks. These are paid advertisements and while I do my best to only allow quality products and services to be advertised on our site, I am not responsible for claims or testimonials made on paid advertising links.
