Amazon Associates Programs:
I am an Amazon Associate. Purchases made through Amazon affiliate links on this blog pay a small referral fee to me. This applies to all purchases made on Amazon regardless of whether the product the consumer purchased was mentioned by me or not, so long as you clicked the link going to Amazon.com from this blog. The consumer’s purchases are confidential and I can not track who has urchased items using my blog’s Amazon Associate links. I don’t accept monetary compensation from individual advertisers for their products to appear in my blog posts.
Other Amazon affiliate links exist because I get inquiries about the availability of products, and Amazon and its affiliates carry a wide ranges of books, gourmet foods, and cookware that are easily available, often internationally. I personally shop at Amazon and find it to be easy-to-use and reliable. I believe in supporting local businesses as well. But because it’s not always possible to mention that in posts, I assume that readers know best the shopping options available to them in their particular geographical region.
I have written reviews of products that I use personally and provided links to those products via Amazon.com but I was not paid by anyone to do so.
