Thoughts At the End of My First Full Month Blogging

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I started this blog some time in June, so July marks my first full month of blogging..  So, I figured I would share some of my highs and lows with my readers, and also thank everyone who has visited, commented, subscribed, etc.  Without you, I’d just be a crazy person talking to myself on the internet :) (more…)

I Have Subscribers!!! YAY! (And Thanks)

I, like most bloggers probably, check Google Webmaster (not to mention my google ads account and my feedburner stats and my page rank, etc. etc. etc.) at a frequency that borders on obsessive.  My stats had not updated for a while, up until yesterday.  Then, yesterday I checked and not only had they updated, but I had a wonderful surprise.  People, real actual people out there in the world, subscribed to MY blog using google subscriptions.  You have no idea how exciting it is for me that some of you found me interesting enough to actually click that little button and subscribe!! So thanks, to those of you who subscribed— you made my day.  And for the rest of you, well, if you want to make me even happier than just click here to subscribe too, and help the blog grow.  Oh, and I’m also always interested in comments and suggestions for posts :)  Anyway, thanks again for reading (and subscribing and making my day!)   

How Couponing Changes Your Outlook on Life

I started using coupons seriously in March of 2007, approximately 1 year and 4 months ago. I was inspired by an MSN money article called Secrets of Superstar Grocery Shoppers, and by reading about the great deals people were getting at CVS. On Sunday, I dutifully bought my paper, clipped my coupons, made my list, and headed out to CVS. Now, less than 2 years later, I buy 4 papers a weekend. I do at least 8 transactions at CVS a week, not to mention approximately 4 weekly trips to Wal-Mart and assorted other grocery and drug stores. I am what you might call a Coupon Addict.
