The Bargain Queens are back online!

computer image -- we're back onlineOver the last month or so, you might have noticed error messages coming up on the site from time to time, and some crazily long stretches of downtime. Sorry about that!

We haven’t been able to post a lot while these technical issues kept taking us offline, but we have been doing a lot behind-the-scenes to fix things. Long story short, we eventually gave up on our old hosting provider ever really fixing things, and have moved elsewhere.

Now we’re on a new server with a new hosting company, and fingers crossed our technical woes are over.
