Hi. I'm J. Kolab, and Bargain Besties is my corner of the internet for one thing: real deals for real women.
I'm just a regular lady trying to help other women, plain and simple. I'm plus-size, I'm cheap in the proud way, and I have no patience for "deals" that aren't actually deals. So that's the whole job here: I find the good stuff, I check it, and I tell you the truth about it. If something's flimsy, I'll say so. If something's worth it, I'll say that too.
What you'll find here
- Deals I've checked myself, from Amazon, Walmart, Target, Kohl's, or wherever the real bargain is that week. Plenty of them earn me nothing. If it's a good deal, it goes up.
- Under-$10 finds: the good-quality version of the stuff in your drawers, at the price of the cheap one.
- Holiday and big-sale roundups, with the hype taken out.
Two more projects under the same roof
- The Curvy Closet: real reviews from real plus-size women, plus our sisterhood closet sale.
- Mom Hacks & Frugal Finds: cleaning hacks, organizing, everyday hacks, and a recipe every day.
The money part, straight up
Some links here are affiliate links. If you buy through one, I earn a small commission, and you never pay a penny more. That's how this stays free. As an Amazon Associate, I earn from qualifying purchases. I never charge readers anything, ever.
Bargain Besties is part of Kreation Kolab, which is me, a laptop, and too many browser tabs.
Thanks for being here. Now go save some money.
