FTC Disclosure

The FTC requires bloggers to disclose whenever there is a financial interest or bias related to a recommendation or whenever a blogger’s opinion may be financially motivated in any way. More importantly, I have a desire to always be transparent and honest with readers and to disclose how I make money from this website.

Affiliate Links

The FTC also requires disclosure about any affiliate links. I specifically note in the side bar of a post when affiliate links are present, but for disclosure purposes, assume that any link you click on is an affiliate link. This means that I will earn a small commission from Amazon or other company if you decide to purchase the product linked to.

Many of the links on TheFrugalPharmacist are purely for informational purposes, but I do earn a small commission on many such links including links to books, products and services so please assume for any given link, I may earn a commission of some kind if you purchase a product.

Affiliate Disclosure

In compliance with the FTC guidelines, please assume the following about all links, posts, photos and other material on this website:

Any/all of the links on this website are affiliate links of which TheFrugalPharmacist receives a small commission from sales of certain items, but the price is the same for you.

TheFrugalPharmacist is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com or endless.com, MYHABIT.com, SmallParts.com, or AmazonWireless.com. Pages on this site may include affiliate links to Amazon and its affiliate sites on which the owner of this website will make a referral commission.

Advertising

I evaluate potential advertising partners on a case by case basis, whose products, mission, and values align with mine. I do not work with or allow the following:

  • Paid or sponsored blog posts
  • Free products for review
  • Paid links or link exchanges
  • Brand ambassadorships
  • Ad networks or other non-curated advertisements
  • Third party promotional companies or services
  • Network marketing, multi-level marketing, or other pyramid structures
  • Unsolicited joint venture promotions

My thoughts and opinions are my own and not of those of any sponsor or advertiser. If I link to a product on this website, it is because I have purchased it myself, use it for my family, and think it is high-quality.
