Affiliate Disclosure

We believe you deserve to know exactly how this site works and how we make money.

Last updated: April 2025

The short version: Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission — at no extra cost to you. We only recommend services and products we've genuinely evaluated. Commissions never influence our rankings or opinions.

🔗 What Are Affiliate Links?

Affiliate links are special tracking URLs. When you click one and complete a purchase or sign up for a service, the retailer pays us a small referral fee. The price you pay is exactly the same as if you had gone directly to their website.

This is a common way for content websites to earn revenue, and it allows us to keep Smart Grocery Savings free for everyone.

🤝 Our Affiliate Relationships

We may have affiliate relationships with some or all of the following companies. This list may be updated as we add new partners:

🧭 Our Editorial Promise

Our content is driven by research and honest evaluation — not by which companies pay the highest commissions. Here's what that means in practice:

🔍

Independent Research

We compare prices and features ourselves. No company pays to be featured or ranked higher.

📊

Real Data

Our comparisons use actual prices and terms at the time of writing, not marketing materials.

🚫

No Paid Reviews

We do not accept payment for positive reviews or sponsored placements disguised as editorial content.

🔄

Updated Regularly

We revisit articles when prices, fees, or policies change to keep our recommendations current.

⚖️ FTC Compliance

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255). We are committed to full transparency about our monetization practices.
