I lobr your blog because u show how easily you can save on things. I love you u display the deals, you state it pretty clearly. I just love it all. If anything post more because not a day goes by that i don’t check your blog (i often check it several times day when i have nothing else going on). I’m a student (trying to be a nurse and serve the community), my husband has been unemployed since we moved to Orlando 3 months ago, and we now are living off food stamps. Your site has allowed me to maximize the amount of good i can by with what little we have to budget. Thanks!BR/Lee W. ldbush@aol.com

I just recently discovered you and your blog and now it is one of the four that I follow daily! :) That is a big compliment because there are SO many money-saving blogs out there! Anyway, I love everything you do – you include deals that some other blogs don’t include just because the item isn’t totally free. I like to see good deals, even when the items aren’t completely free. One thing I would like to see on your blog is a running list of rebates that are currently available (since I often lose track of rebate items that I can buy). You could also link to the rebate form or tell us where the rebate form can be found (which newspaper, magazine, etc.). Anyway, that’s my suggestion! :) Hope it’s helpful!

Crystal. I like the following on your blog in this order:BR/BR/1. Personal Testimony (always an encouragement to hear from another believer)BR/2. I like the free deals that you post by themselves (usually you put a picture with them; when I don’t have time to do a full shopping trip I can just stop by and get the one thing that you are telling me is free and I have a picture to show me what it looks like).BR/3. I like the CVS and Walgreens, and Publix deals that you post. Those are the three stores that I shop at.BR/4. I love the posts of your own shopping trip with the picture. This is what motivated me to get couponing. :) BR/BR/Things I don’t have much interest in (and this is just me of course):BR/BR/1. The giveaways (I know I should be interested in these because I am a “saver” right but I actually never even read them). Except for today of course because the giveaway is free CVS, Wags, and RiteAid cards. LOL.BR/2. I don’t have much interest in the free samples post as I have a different website to get this stuff (but, again, that’s just me). I like getting the coupons that come WITH the free samples. :) BR/BR/Ok, that’s all. I love your site and have told all my girlfriends and they are now coming to thriftymama too!

I love your blog! I have been couponing since this summer and it has really slashed my spending and that helps me dig my family out of debt. You have recently become one of my top 3 favorite coupon bloggers. Thanks especially for the recent Walitin scenario!!! Usually I get this kind of stuff at Walmart, but if Walgreens can pay me to take it, I’ll be there tomorrow :) Awesome deal!!

The Thrifty Mama has become a site I go to daily. I think everything you do here is great. Cannot think of anything I would change. I would like to note to… I was at Wags yesterday for their four day sale. AS I was walking through by the beauty counter, I noticed Phisoderm (facial cleanser) on sale for 2.59$ and there was a 2.00 peelie on it. So- I stocked up. THATS .59cents each! This is something that your blog has helped me to do. Nice thing was, I was almost out of cleanser. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

I don’t think I’ve ever posted a comment before on a blog. I need to get into this century for sure! I am enjoying reading your blog. You are so organized! I have 9 children and wonder if I’ll ever get to the point you have! We have an orphanage in Haiti with 136 children. We are always looking for ways to save for our immediate family, but also trying to find great deals for the needs of so many little ones that we care for so far from here. I have to begin at the beginning, but I think with some effort, I may be able to help get meds and things like that, that are so needed in Haiti. Your tips on shopping at Walgreens are terrific and so inspiring. Thank you for taking the time to carry us all along with you! Bless you, Linda – MesiSenye@aol.com
