If you receive the St Pete times, you might want to check out the front page of the Tampa Bay Section (page 1B for me).  There is a great article titled How I saved $74.05 at the Grocery Store written by Heather Urquides.  The article is jam packed full of couponing tips that should be familiar to all of you!  And, addictedtosaving.com received a great shoutout as a website that matches coupons with weekly store sales!  To take a look at the article, go HERE to read it! 

And – if you are new to Addicted to Saving – welcome!  My goal for Addicted to Saving is to make saving money easy for you and to empower you as you save more and more money each week!  If you have any questions as you check out my website, please feel free to leave a comment with your questions!

Thanks Mike for the head’s up on this great article & thanks to Heather Urquides for the awesome article! 🙂

I am working on my Groupon Deals of the day post and I wanted to make sure that I include each and every city that all of you live in/near.  I already include each Groupon city for the state of Florida, but if you live in other states (doesn’t matter where :)) I want to make sure I am including your deals as well!  Leave a comment on this post of where you live and I will make sure to add your city onto my daily post.  Thanks!

Happy New Year!  I hope that all of you have had a wonderful year 2010 but more importantly, I hope that 2011 is even better.  I have been blessed by all of you – both my new and my “old” readers.  Addicted to Saving has grown so much this past year because of all of your loyalty.  Addicted to Saving’s Facebook page is less than a year old and it has been so fun to watch it grow.  You have done an amazing job of emailing me deals, helping each other out by leaving comments and pointing out when I’ve made mistakes.  You have sent me encouraging emails and discouraging emails – both of which I appreciate (well, maybe not the discouraging emails ;)).  If you came to my Addicted to Saving 101 class in November, you donated so many groceries that two grocery carts were overflowing – what a blessing!  You are dedictated to sending me tons and tons of expired coupons each month so that I can send them to the troops in Italy.  Thank you so much for all of your support.  I have fun plans for 2011 so get ready for new and improved posts and some fun changes.

Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve and I look forward to seeing what 2011 brings all of us!

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas.  Thank you for being such wonderful readers.

If you are in need of any more Christmas decorations – yes I realize that Christmas is only about 26 hours away – stop into Lowe’s.  We went tonight and they had ALL of their Christmas decorations on sale 60% off.  We scored ourselvers an awesome Christmas tree, bird food and ribbon for a great deal (especially since we used a coupon I received in the mail).  If you decide to go shopping tomorrow (I kind of hope you all are done shopping and instead spend time with family ;)) check out Lowe’s.. you can get some great deals.
