So many of you email me and ask me what certain abbreviations mean that I post on Addicted to Saving. If you look to the top horizontal toolbar, you will be able to see I’ve added a new category called “Abbreviations”. I will add more abbreviations to this list as I use them! If you see an abbreviation I have missed, please leave a comment on this post and I will add it to the list!
B1G1 or BOGO = Buy One, Get One Free

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..
