So if you’ve been following our Instagram account, you know why we’ve been skipping on some deals lately. This baby is definitely the most wonderful full-time job! However, it does make it tougher to coupon and snag deals. Right now we’re seriously trying to get debt free (as you can see in this video) and we’re living off of our stockpile! We’re still doing deals, when we can get to the store, but I do have to admit – it is much harder!
I’ve also noticed that while there are still deals and freebies out there, it does seem like companies are pulling back just a little. We also noticed that you (our readers) just weren’t into our match-ups as much! We’re getting much more interest in recipes, organization posts, DIY, and frugal lifestyle posts. So, about a month ago we stopped posting match-ups, and our number of reader visits stayed the same, and no one commented or complained, so we’re thinking this is a good move for the blog (considering we had to pay for them each week!). Also, for now our coupon database is still receiving some decent visits as well, so as long as readers are still visiting the database, we will continue to pay for it (about $30 per month).
You know how much we love deals, but I’m still wondering if many of our readers are starting to leave extreme couponing behind now that gas prices have fallen and its easier to save in other areas. However, we will still be providing you with deals, freebies, DIY, frugal, giveaways, and many more posts that we know you enjoy (since those types of posts are still getting visits). If there is something you want to see more of on the blog, please let us know! We love hearing from you! 🙂
We have Marie and Kris providing deals to you each morning as well, so we’re really excited they are on the team! Give them a shout out with a comment if they post a deal you love!
