Blogging changes



I have been thinking about my blog- and I realized it needs a little revamping. O.k. so actually I have been realizing this for awhile, but after I post everything- to then spend additional time reorganizing, doing HTML, and all that jazz I'm done and my baby is up from his nap and he's done with me on the computer at that point. So we're going to be making some small changes here and there, and hopefully it won't interfere with your steal of a deal viewing experience.

HOWEVER

I am also adding some exciting components of the blog that I think will be fun for everyone.

There will now be at least one guest post every week contact me if you're interested- let me know what you would like to write about- and hopefully we'll be able to put you in! I'm so up for new ideas- and your talent might be my weakness- so I'm all about building everyone together using all our strengths. If you think you have something post worthy- don't hesitate to ask me to put here!

I want a recipe portion of the blog. This is the part I am not so good at- but I would love your input! I already have one person up on the docket that will be fun for you- but I would love it to be a standard Monday and/or Tuesday post for you to write in and tell me what you're cooking with all those great deals you've been getting! And if you have pictures of you making the meal that will boost you on the probably getting it published here scale.

I also am going to try to have one discussion post a week. That means if you have any questions- please don't hesitate to ask. I might have answered it in a past post- but of course my blog isn't that organized yet to let you know how to find it- so just ask it and I'll reanswer the question. Or if no one has questions- I'll just try to enter one thrifty time AND/or money saving idea a week.

I will also have up my dinner list every week. I don't know the best day to have this up- so I'm going to let you vote on this. The only day I won't do it is Sunday because that's my computer off day- but when would like the list- Monday? Tuesday? Thursday? Do you even care that I put it up? It's true- you might not care- but this has been such a lifesaver for me. This past week I didn't write my list- and I have been struggling every night trying to decide what to make. It's so much easier just writing a list once for the week- and then grabbing my ideas from there. Any good dinner ideas for tonight or tomorrow?

And for the last idea- I want your store deals pictures, how much you paid and how much it retails for! That's the most motivating part of all this saving money using coupons idea- seeing what other normal (because some people might not call me normal) people are getting at the store. I'll post what I'm getting- but I also want to see what you're getting!

A big thanks for reading my blog also. It's true there are some days when I think "this isn't worth it"! But then I talk to someone and they tell me how much money they saved from reading something on here- or how much they appreciate me consolidating all the deals in one place- and I think I can keep going. I think these new components of the blog will make it more exciting for me, and I hope they will for you too! Have a great one!

  1. I love your blog so keep at it if you can. I would say that Monday would be a good day to post your dinner ideas for the week since it would be a fresh week but if that isn't comfortable maybe Wednesday after all the new deals are out. Just a thought. I would be happy to help you in any way, recipes, pictures whatever. Thank you for putting so much work into your blog you are awesome!
