Well, the survey results are in from the Addicted to Saving Reader Survey and I am soooo thankful for your kind words of encouragement. My favorite stat is in the picture above – more than half come to AddictedtoSaving.com more than once a day, and 98% come at least once a week! I feel so blessed and so honored. I know that I don’t answer every email or Facebook comment, and sometimes I’m not on my A-game, but you all are like my extended family, and I absolutely love you all!
I’ve joked that my blog is my “baby;” obviously it’s not literally true, but just like a mother is protective of her baby, I’m protective of my site and my readers as well. I can’t believe how God has blessed it over these past three years! Utterly blessed.
It was hard to give a survey because no one likes criticism, but I found that most of you were too nice. 🙂 But I learned a lot from the comments, and hopefully I can start to make some slight modifications to continue to make your experience even better!
In case you’re curious, here are a couple of the things I learned in the survey:
- 95% were female who responded
- 54% were in the 35-54 age group
- I already mentioned this, but 98% come to Addicted to Saving at least once a week (thank you!)
- Publix is the #1 store you want to see deals from
- CVS, Target, Walgreens and Walmart were all tightly lumped as the next most desirable stores
- Most of you are happy with the stores as is, but Rite Aid and Kroger were the most desired **Did you notice that I was able to do the Rite Aid ad this past week?**
- Deals related to Publix definitely seem to be your favorite – guess that means I will keep doing a Photo Show and Tell! 🙂
- You would like to see more freebies and store deals
- You would like to see less deals for daily deals sites like Groupon, Living Social (I was surprised, actually!)
Now for the most important part – the winner of the $25 VISA Gift Card! Using the WordPress plugin, And the Winner Is…, the winner is listed below; I have emailed you and will need to hear back from you by Thursday evening, 4/5/12, at 10 p.m. EST, or I will need to pick another winner.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
