Affiliate Disclosure Policy
Last Updated: 04/03/2025
Our Commitment to Transparency
At CheapEasyEats.com, we believe in complete transparency with our audience. This Affiliate Disclosure explains how we use affiliate links on our website and what this means for you as a visitor or customer.
What Are Affiliate Links?
Some links on CheapEasyEats.com are “affiliate links.” This means that if you click on one of these links and subsequently make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the seller or service provider. These commissions help support our website and allow us to continue providing free, valuable content and resources for families on a budget.
How Affiliate Marketing Works
Affiliate marketing is a common internet practice where websites earn commissions by promoting products or services from other companies. Here’s how it typically works:
- We include special tracking links (affiliate links) to products or services we believe would be valuable to our audience
- When you click on these links, a small piece of code tells the merchant that you came from our website
- If you make a purchase within a specified time frame (usually 24 hours to 30 days, depending on the program), we receive a small commission
- The price you pay remains exactly the same whether you use our affiliate link or go directly to the merchant’s website
When we recommend products or services on CheapEasyEats.com, we genuinely believe they offer value to our readers. Our recommendations are always based on:
- Products we personally use and love
- Items that align with our budget-friendly philosophy
- Tools and ingredients that make cooking easier and more accessible
We never recommend products solely to earn commissions, and we’ll always be upfront about products we’ve received for free or at a discount for review purposes.
Our Promise to You
We want to assure our readers that:
- No Additional Cost to You: These commissions come at absolutely no extra cost to you – in fact, sometimes our affiliate partnerships allow us to share special discounts with our readers.
- Genuine Recommendations Only: We only recommend products and services that we personally use, have thoroughly researched, or genuinely believe would benefit our audience
- Your Needs Come First: Our content and recommendations are always based first and foremost on providing value to you, not on earning commissions
- Clear Disclosure: We strive to clearly identify affiliate links or content containing affiliate links
