Dear Readers,
Youâre receiving this BuyBetter newsletter five days early. Thatâs because we wanted to send it to you ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Weâll be sharing some great holiday deals. But, we also want to tell you a bit more about why we do what we do, including answers to common questions from BuyBetter readers, like why we link to products on Amazon, what we think about items made in China, and why we donât discuss thrifting and local shopping more often. Another question:Â
*What does âaffiliate marketing" mean? Itâs a system where merchants pay commissions to affiliates (usually publications or influencers) for the visits, sales, or sign-ups that the affiliates generate. If you buy something, you pay the same amount, and we may make a small commission.
That means that you can support Bluedot by clicking on the links in this newsletter. Itâs almost like donating to us, and we really appreciate it. Your support helps us bring you stories without charging you to see them. Â
